Cool and thanks for the info. I see where you can get fronts only, rear shocks only or the full kit. At the price point, seems to make good sense to grab the entire kit and ditch the rear air if so choose to do so.
What was your wait time on receiving them? Where ordered from? Read they take quite a long time if not "in stock"

I ordered them through ModBargain. I placed the order in early December. They said it would take 3-4 months. I was ok with the wait time since I probably wasn’t going to install them till spring. The actual wait time was closer to 4 months for me.

Good to know. I see several vendors claim to have them "in stock" and I would not want to have to wait 4 months if it could be avoided. I reached out to isc to see if they had kits ready for immediate delivery. Still awaiting their response. Thanks for the heads up.

Hello all. New to the forum. Just picked up this 2007 e61. Not sure which rims these are but front tire size is 235/40/19 and thetrear is 255/40/19. Not sure if that is correct tire sizing for the e61.

Although your wagon looks bad-ass with those wheels on, those tires are nowhere near the right size for it. Not to mention both front and rear are different circumferences....Not a good thing for the x-drive. I have the 18" wheel option on my wagon and stock tire size is 245/40-18. Your rear tire is huge compared to that! Also, be weary of the offset of those wheels, you can kill the bearings quickly by having a big change in the scrub radius the wagon was designed for.

I would do 235/40/19 tires on the rims you have. Your car looks great with them. I think the stock wheels for these wagons are et30 offsets. All of mine are et20. All 4 need to be same overall diameter how ever you do it. The offset/bearing issue is worth mentioning but I don't think it's an issue. I had to replace a rear bearing due to an accident prior to me purchasing the car. The rear bearings are like a Mack truck, I can tell you that!!
Personally, I don't run anything over 18's. It's pretty easy to bend those 19's if you hit anything.
Ps- looks like your wheels are et20. Pull one off and look on the inside for "ET20" stamp.
