My Ride: 06' 530 Alpine/Auburn/Dark walnut, Sport, Premium, Sirius, 35% Tint
Upcomming mods: M166's/Exclaim UHP's, Mtech
Does anybody know if installing a set of M167's (FOUR 19x8.5, ET12) is doable? 
I'm thinking about mounting snows and making this my winter set up, so the skinnier tires in the rear might be safer. If four 18x8 fit, why not four 19x8.5?

Yes it would work 100%. I am running 245/35 R19 with 8,5x19 ET14 front and rear as my summer setup without any problems. And you are right about a narrower tire in snow.

Have you noticed any adverse changes in your speedometer reading?
