Well i?m thinking about 19" wheels!

I still have not made a decision but i think i will achieve it soon! (maybe the M5 ones...in black!!)

I have a set of tires in my garage: 255/35/19

Question, will these fit in a E61?

thanks guys

Yes those will fit because even 255/35/20 fit to E61. Main issue is which kind of wheel you get.

I?m thinking about the M5 ones!

Will i need spacers for that? Well i?m already using spacers on the rear wheels!

But in the front? Will i need them?


Thank you!

If you have wheels with the right ET you will not need spacers!
Think you have spacers because you want a more agressive look?
What car do you drive?
M5 OEM or replicas wheels?

Have 20" on my car and I dont need spacers!

Helo deeman, yes i use spacers on the rear because i loke the wheels to fill up the arches. I believe it gives a better look!

I drive a 535d M you can see it here:

I would go for lower profile as they look sexier.

I have installed 235/35/19 front which is lower profile than the BMW recommended size 245/35/19 and used 275/30/19 for the rear.

Yes wees75, but the question is that these tires i have siting in the garage are new!

So what i was thinking was to use them and then when new ones were needed, well, to buy the right combination (size) or a sexier one like you say!
