Default Post your e60 wheel setup

I know there's a thread on this already, but it dates back quite a bit (and is long) if I'm not mistaken. I thought it'd be good to get a new thread started just to show possibly updated setups since the last thread, as well as winter setups for some people.

Not to mention...im looking for a wheel setup for this coming spring Thinking Miro 111's, hypersilver. On stock sport suspension, will go lower if needed.



I'm just on stock sport wheels, nothing worth posting. Someone start this off right!

You should get a lot of responses on this one. People love their wheels. I'm curious to see some great setups also!
I'll start it off with the basic upgrade to OEM 166's 19" with 245/40's on front, 285/35's on back, on stock Sport suspension

Current setup OEM 166 wheels wrapped around 245/40zr/19 in the front and 285/35zr/19 in the rear. I'm running 12mm spacer in the rear. Suspension is H&R coilovers. My future plans are to go with different coilovers, add 12mm spacer in the front and change out the rear spacer for 15mm one.

great start! I Love the 166's and the spider replicas...some of my favs. All these wheels look good actually.

PrimeTime, you have some more pics of yours from different angles? I've got the sport suspension as well so I'm curious as to ride height appearance with 20"s on the sport suspension
