delje08,

Hi, I'm new to the forum and a first time BMW owner but I'm quickly learning a lot from all of you guys. I have a 2008 535i with the sport package and I'm currently purchasing the same wheels with 245/35R19 front tires and 275/30 R19 rear tires. Assuming that you have the same setup, I like the way your tires sit in the well right now. Did you lower the suspension or is that the stock suspension? If it is stock, do you know if it is the same as my e60 even though yours is a 545i?

Thanks, now I see that it was listed but being a newbie I didn't know what that meant, lol. Also, I just found out that the guy who he sold the wheels that he had before to is my boy here in H'town, JSwole. I thought those wheels looked familiar. Hey Jerry, Jermaine gave me your contact info, can I give you a call to discuss?
