Beautiful wheels ACS6. Please post pics when they are on the car. I am looking at those also, where did you get them and how much? Sorry I can't help you with tire size.

Very good looking wheels!

Go for standard E60 tyre sizes!!!

245/35 19" front and 275/30 19" rear.


PS. The ET on E60 19" wheels should be 18 front and 32 rear

PPS. Could you give us a link where the buy them for 4 x $ 180, thanks.

The widest tyres you can mount on them is 245/35 front - 285/30 rear (without the fear of rubbing)



Here is the OEM

They are now off the car, ready to be stored for the winter.

That shocked me. The whole set for $720
I think Movens in Germany makes the replica drawing and send it to Taiwan for low production cost
Probably that might cause some vibration to some members here.

the right offset for m6 wheels mounted on e60 is 12 F and 28R not 32 32 is for 172Ms.

The optional 167s for the m5 have ET12 front and ET28 in the rear.So we use that as an example But i guess that 22 should be nicer than 28.it will make the wheel stick out more.
