Did you program the computer or do something else to compensate for the overall larger diameter?
On a side note, does anyone have pics of a lowered e60 on 19s?
I'm gonna dump the VMRs soon and I want to see what a lowered e60 on 19s looks like versus one on 20s.
Thanks.

If you have a larger wheel you use a lower profile tire then the overall diameter is the same, or close enough.

So what are dudes with 20's running? 245/30 vs. 245/30 in the front and 275/30 in the rear (when staggered)?

though technically that's ~1" larger in diameter than the stock wheels...
STOCK
245/40/18 = Outside Diameter of 25.72"
275/35/18 = Outside Diameter of 25.58"
AFTERMARKET
245/30/20 = Outside Diameter of 26.75"
275/35/20 = Outside Diameter of 26.50"
Closer would be 245/30/20 & 275/25/20 = 25.79"/25.41" but no one runs this I'm guessing because of a thin sidewall? 2.89"/2.71" vs 3.86"/3.79".

That's what I have on my 19s....and what BMW puts on 19's with the Sport Package...245/35 and 275/30 so with the 19 vs. 20, you're running an overall larger diameter wheel/tire combo, right?
