I've been doing a lot of searching and really have not come up with an answer. I'm driving a 550 with sport and premium package.
What rim size do you guys recommend that will fit the car without needing to drop it. I'm thinking about running 19' style 167 rims but not sure what size. I would like the widest tire at the back as possible. Do you think 19 will leave too much of a wheel gap?
Whats the stock m6 rim size?
Anyone have pics of Monaco Blue BMW with m6 wheels?

I guess that would depend on what kind of a gap you can live with. I had 20s on my 545 with Sports Package and there was still a gap. Check out this thread: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=34855

I'm not sure. Hopefully someone with 19s can chime in. I know that Vegastrashed has 19" 166s and then he got H&R springs. He might have some before photos of his car before the lowering.

Wouldn't there be less of a gap if I run 19' on sport suspension?
