I recently purchased a 2007 550i and have been doing some research on wheels and tires. I'm leaning toward the Cor Forged F1 Mesh 19". The sales guy is suggesting the following for an aggressive look without rubbing. I need some validation or advice on sizing. Thanks

wheels
19"x9" - front
19"x10.5 - rear

tires
245x35x19" - front
295x30x19" - rear

tire choice
Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS

Nice wheels! Depending on the offsets, the front should be fine, the rears are questionable........ if they have a conservative offset, the 295's should work, if they are aggressive, go with 275's or 285's. What ever you get, be sure and post before and after pics!
