I think I am 
. After going from safe offsets/meatier tires to low offset/wide wheels/stretcheeeed tires on my S2000, I know how much better the flush look looks. Problem is that E60 + custom ordered wheels = $$$$. Can't wait to see your pictures to plan my setup woot!

haha yeah thats true, Retail on these new is $6k and if you dont know what youre doing or have a good shop that has done the VIP/flush look before, thats a large gamble to make.
my previous volks were pretty aggressive for the e46 m3 close to these sizes but in different offsets so I have a pretty good basis to kinda figure what will work and what wont
plus Im only working with a 2inch drop and cut fender liners, so I have some wiggle room to experiment and see how aggressive the e60 can go
The issue that most people run into when they get aggressive wheels in offsets that look great, they get meaty tires that rub like crazy and then they blame it on the wheel size rather than the tire size.
Last time I checked, wheels dont rub, tires do lol
