Getting rid of the 18" Falken RT-7M's and stepping up to 20" Lorenzo WL36. Guy at Lorenzo said these are brand new, and the first set they've sent to Houston.

20x8.5 front, 20x10.5 rear with Nitto 245/35/20 front, and 285/30/20 rear.

Nice! Where did you get them at and is your care lowered? I also love black cars, they make everything pop!

Thanks, found out the 285's were too wide though, they rubbed on the fender, so back to 275's. My car is stock height sport package. I'm the GM of RNR Wheels in Houston.

Here is the final product.

Looks nice. Normally on non-M E60 people usually go for 275/30/20 rear. 25 sidewall might give a harsh ride and doesn't leave much room for rim protection.

looks good. regarding the tire size, according to rolling diameter the tire sizes should be 245/30/20 and 275/25/20 or 285/25/20. we always recommend the thicker sidewalls though for more rim protection. if you still experience any rubbing you can always have the fenders rolled.

Yeah, I have the 245/30 on the front, and 275/30 on the back. The rim is 10.5" wide though, so it stretches the 275's a bit, and I don't like that look, so adding the 285/25's instead. Hopefully they'll be here today, and I'll post another picture.

Hmm, haven't seen any quite like those before ... can't say I'm surprised you're the first one with them.

Side note, I like the gold calipers.
