My Ride: E60 "Stripper" Now C6 "Stripper"
Default

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.

What kind of tires do you have? Right now i've got OEM 124's with Dunlop sport 01 Dsst's. 245/40/18 front 275/35/18 rear.

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.
