My Ride: e60
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
finally got a hold of some 21" 128's
![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)
but i need me some 245/30 or 245/25 in front but the rears fit perfectly (285/30/21)
i drove on em for about a mile and of course lots of rubbing and burning of rubber
but the ride itself, aside from the constant noise and smell, was good and smooth (surprisingly)
enough talk
pic time...

Dayum! Those look HUGE!!
Not quite sure if I really like them THAT big...but as long as you like them, it's all good![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
What do you plan to do about the rubbing?

too big imo....the only way i would run a 21" wheels is if they had a lip on it causing them to appear smaller, 21" wheels w/o lip look huge on the e60 no matter what tire or suspension you run.

im not sure but...
:l
...i kinda think people buy bigger wheels to make it look like they have bigger wheels
i love oem, lip-less wheels plus they were dirt cheap
![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)
i think the changes i mentioned will help it
if not i can always sell and go back to my 166s
