My Ride: 2005 525i Premium Package - Under Construction
Just took my brothers M6 rims for myself. Both rear tires are bald so I'm wondering what size tire should I buy for my 05 525? Rather which tire fits best? I wanted to know from the more experienced folk. Please help...Thanks.

I had OEM 19 M6 alloys and lowered suspension. They do rub on the fronts where the inner front arch meets the inner front bumper. There's a plastic bit that needs cutting away. I also had the front arches rolled to cure the problem. There was another member with the same setup and he also had the front rubbing.
