My Ride: E60
Hey guys, Im pretty much a rookie to this site. Took time to stance my 5 series this winter. My stock suspension got replaced by H%R coilovers. My car quickly went from mini van wheel gap status to a nice sporty profile. Next I wanted to make my wheels have a flush look. I ended up throwing on some H%R 10 mm spacers all around to my 8.5x20 and 10x20 wheels that are wrapped in 255/30/20 and 295/25/20 tires. Took some pictures today to share with you guys and get some feedback. Now that I've stanced the car I wish I had gone with 19's for more rubber and a softer ride. Torn between selling my 20's next winter for 19's or jumping up to the 35/30 series tires with stretch tires. Maybe 235/275. Cant wait to install my m-tech kit that's on it way. Should give it clean sporty look hopefully within the next couple weeks.

i got a titanium silver car too, the photos really help I always wanted to see how the black top roof would look. but the debadging is really going to be my next focus. do you think i can pull it off without having to re paint. also the rims look great I'm looking to get a nice aggressive stance too when i go for my 19's... 20's would just be impossible here in nyc. but you will definitely have an awesome look when the mtech arrives. thats also on my short todo list.

I think you made the right choice with the 20's.....I need to do a spring package like you did; I believe it would make mine look a little more aggressive also...

I'm loving the stance. Your mtech kit will tie it all together. Maybe LCI tails next?

30F and 25R sidewalls will give you a harsh ride. Most E60s on 20" usually go 35F 30R which is a tad larger diameter than stock but still within range. Why don't you just change the tires?
