does it give you a full turn on the steering wheel and does it rub the inside wheel wells? I'm new to this.
it shouldnt if its he right size wheels and tires, because the sport suspension is lower and doesnt rub

Yes I agree, your car would look like a 7 series. it will almost look like your car is floating on the rims.
At first you really don't notice, but once you park next to another E60 that is stock or has been lowered, your car does look a bit too high. the lower profile tires just makes the gap look bigger.

I too had my non-sport with 19" #166 wheels.
I ultimately lowered it with springs. It did not look too good when it was not lowered (it just looked strange).

I wonder if you could use larger profile tires to fill the gap. Your car would look more like a 7-series. I do not think this works with the sport models, but it would probably work with an unlowered car.
