Ok so i'm so mixed up between the 166 ones and some BBS RXII in 19". The thing is that 166 look the best imo for the e60, and youc an't go wrong with that if they are original and not replicas. But the BBS ones look good also and gives slightly better exclusivity and somehow a modded image.
As for the tire size i'm made my mind 245/35 front and 285/30 back.

Why would you go wider in the back? Isn't that going to induce more understeer? I would think you want to increase both front and back.

I dunno so much about understeer, hope it won't introduce more since i like the degree of understeer the car has, i just need more grip. And 255 on the front is too much since many said they have rubbing problems.
