Hi,

I would like to Buy New rims an tyeres.
Found the rims I would like to have but only in 22x10... (22x9 would be perfekt)
and now i wounder if they fitt and in that case whit which offset?? (I can order any offset i Would like from 0 - +45)

tyres are 235/30 r22 toyo proxes

You are lost man!

22" is way too big size for the E60. Are you serious?

And with that tire size you will never get them fit:
235/30 R22 --> overall diameter is 699.77 mm

And the right size with a 19" wheel would be:
245/35 R19 --> overall diameter is 654.05 mm

I think it would be very difficult to find the right tyre for the 22" rim to fit E60.
Or are you doing some serious body modding?

You really should do some research about the issue.

edit: Take a look at . They have managed to get 245/30 R22 tyres to fit, but it has required widening the wheel arch.

NO i´m not LOST!

I have seen a lot of e60 / e61 whit 22"
And the link that you send is a lowered e60 whit m-tech chassie.

I have a stock E61 no lowering or so.

And I will get some other offset so the rims dosen´t have to come out near the arch.

about the research, i have searched for a very long time and bought a set of 20x10 and 20x8,5 but i want bigger NOW!!! =)

Ok.

I think 10" wheel is too wide in front with any offset, but I'm not sure. With M5 front fenders they would fit with the right offset though...

Measure what inner clearance you currently have from the rim / tyre (tire) to the strut.

Then use this tool to compare current clearance vs proposed. : http://www.morfed.net/wheel-offset-calculator/

The 19" E61 BMW wheels are 8.5J ET18, with 245/35's. With the 22's, and the 235/30's, you are increasing the diameter by 5cm approx.

You then need to consider inner clearance, wheel arch diameter (and effect on full lock), wheel extension beyond arch - let alone availability of tyres and ride comfort.

Those pretty thin tires for an 18" E60 wheel -- you get 245s on the M135 M-Sport factory supplied rims. Why go for such thin tyres??

ExCon

i´m gona o for a Germanylook styling (you know like bmw e30 whit borbet 16x9" rims whit 205/40-16)

My e61 will get coilovers, yellow tinted headlights and fog lights, using sandpapper to remove the paint on the hood and then let it rust! =)

If the 'hood' were steel, it could well rust
