So I've been looking at buying some rims/tires for my 08 E60 528i, and I came across 2 or 3 sets on craigslist that I think might be a good fit, but the problem is Im not to sure about tire sizes,clearance suspension etc. So I was hoping you guys could could offer some of your wisdom. The 20 inch davins tires are 8.5x20" (front) and 10x20" (back) rims Nexen N7000 (245/35/20(front) & 275/30/20(back) Low Profile Street Performance Tires. Im not to sure about the 22's because I want a clean smooth ride not too gaudy, and the 17's for a smaller uniform feel. My Bimmer is below

honeslty i wouldnt go with any of those. def not 22s! maybe a 7 series for 22s. 21s is the biggest u should go on these cars, and 21s are big. 20s or 19s is the way to go. theres plenty of wheels in the classifieds in this forums and there from trusted memebers. im still selling mine

i think chrome is just out of style.

Ok so the consensus is keep the stock ones..may I ask why? do you guys not like chrome, the selection to choose from or what is it exactly..personally I like the Davins, I kinda think alloy rims, powder coat look to tuner-ish , and all the concave's i've seen have no flare. To me chrome seems better to keep the luxury look, Im not racing mine, its for eye candy
