Alright guys, I just thought that I would post this since I recall some other people a while back were asking the question, will oem 19" f10 tires fit a e60. Well the straight forward answer is not really. I recently bought these tires "Michelin Primacy HP ZP runflat summer tires. Staggered fitment. 2 x P245/40R19 front and 2 x P275/35R19 rear" from a fellow member who took them off his f10. I had them installed yesterday. Prior to these tires I had Toyo T1R's 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear, the toyo's never rubbed at all no matter what I did. Now with these new tires I get a little rubbing up front on corners if there is a dip in the road. Not a huge deal, I'm thinking rolling the front fenders should solve the issue. As for the rear there is no rubbing. Appearance wise it looks great everything is super flush now and I have more rubber protecting the wheels.
Here are a couple quick iphone pics

Very very nice looking wheels. Congrats!
I'm guessing, putting the rubbing to one side, you are getting a more comfortable ride due to that extra profile rubber? When I recently changed my Continental ContiContactSport 5P's back to Conti 2's, I was tempted to go for some more profile. But the rubbing issues put me off. Something I may do next time the tyres need changing!

yeah its a little more cushion now I think. I can't really tell because I just swapped to these from my 17" winter wheels, which are super soft.
Hopefully I can find someone local to roll my fenders.
