My Ride: E60 "Stripper"
Now C6 "Stripper"
I have noticed the new M5 styling 166m wheels will have 255/40/19 tires up front (19x8.5) and 285/35/19 in the rear (19x9.5). Will these wheels and tires fit on a E60 525/530/545 without rolling the fenders?

I've got 8.5 x 19 245/35 front and 9.5 x 19 270/30 rears and there is no problem. These are the correct wheel and tire combo's for the 545. I wouldn't use the M5 wheel/tire combo on a non-M E60, the rolling radius is larger - not only won't they fit, but they'll throw off your gearing and speedometer reading.

guest 530iii, you have a 530 with the 124 style rims and dunlops? Do you have the sports suspension or non sports? How is the ride?
I am changing out the dunlops on mine and replacing them with michelin pilot sport sp2. hope the ride is smoother.

I don't have the sport package. The oem 124's with the oem dunlop sport 01 runflats make my car feel alot firmer.
I will be getting Pirelli p zero nero m+s's for the winter.
