Thanks man, I think itll work out well with the toyos and they are in the same price range as the falkens but have a rounder wall and stretch better i think

post up some vip pics you have

thanks for all the kind words guys

I really cant stress enough about all the help that Brian/Cody/Shawn at Illtech have been and Michael at Acuteperformance will all the technical questions and deals theyve done

I think this new project is really going to look great when done and hopefully itll show you guys that a properly stanced e60 is gorgeous

well because honestly I hate meaty tires. I dont drive my cars that hard and plus 255 on an 11 rear isnt that big of a stretch here is an example

here is a 225 on a 9.5 wheel

here is 255 on a 11 wheel

Great looking wheels. Is the wheel more at risk when you have a stretch like that?
