I'm wondering why BMW is not providing E61 with rear rims (and tyres) of 275/40-18" when mounting 124 style rims, like E60.
It would be very awsome, if possible. So far I have seen only E61 with four 245/40-18" with 124 style rims.
Anyone knows why?
Thanks

I didn't know this. Maybe it has something to do with the loadcapacity???

not enough space for the 275 rear tire on the E61 seems like the correct answer for this one.

well, I checked the space for rear wheels and for E60 is a way wider than E61's.
But i can't figure out how Schnitzer can fit 295/25-20" on the rear and 255/30-20" on the front of any E61.

Happy New Year !

i'm sure this wheels will fit easily ,
but bmw just not doing it. For example the new M-Pack
for E60/E61 has only 245 wide too...

You can put it on , no question .. but here in germany you need tuev/or a
special paper from BMW to be allowed...

I'm also a little "pissed" of this feature since I was expecting 275 in the rear as the E60. I still haven't ordered my E61 as I'm waiting to see if there are news about the restyling of the 5 series as it has been discussed earlier.

I asked two of the local bmw dealers and no one knew why the larger tires where not included with the E61.
