Hi
Thanks for your nice comments everyone
Re the tyre sizes to be doubly sure (I was anyway) when I ordered my tyres we actually looked at e60.net at the store...(sad I know)
I referred to:
Style Style 128
Wheel Size: 19"
Tire Size: 245/35R-19 (front)
275/30R-19 (rear)
These are sizes I put on to:
My wheels:
DTM MSport
19x8.5 Front
19x9.5 Rear
The rims were wider at the front by 1/2", and I was concerned I would get the slightly rolled off look on the fronts, but they look perfect, however at the back I got this effect a bit - when I was doing my research I checked out a new 550 at the dealer with 172s & 275/30R-19 and they look exactly the same from the factory, so they are OK.
Even happier with my car now!
Cheers

Hi everyone
See attached pics of my car - saphire black full schitzer kit now with 19"s it always needed.
I messed around trying to get OEM ones, however once I visited the guys at Hyper Tyres (great guys) I kenw I had the solution - they fitted these M-Replica ones from www.dtm.co.nz....
