I've returned to the BMW world after a 7 year hiatus (prior BMW - 2001 BMW 330ci), and have just picked up a 2010 535i xdrive with M sport package as my second car for daily driving. The car looks hot, the bmw 135 rims are nice, but come with pathetic little 245/40 run flats all around. I am looking for a set of staggered 19inch rims, and am leaning towards the Miro 346's. I'm going to mount them with Michelin Pilot sport A/S's. Any advice on whether they will fit my car or not? Will the Michelins fit as well? 245/35 in front, 275/30 in back I presume. What about Bremmer Kraft BR03's as seen on Tire Rack? Pics of these anyone? Best place to buy other rims? I definitely want to be able to use the BMW center caps.

Also, do I absolutely need to lower the car with H&R springs, or will the ride suffer terribly?

Thanks for any help here for this return newbie.

Let me know if you want to sell your 135's with the tires and TPM's. I have a 2010 535 xDrive with the non-M sport package, which comes with the 17" setup.

I wouldn't lower the car unless you go with KW coilovers. Don't just do H&R springs....ride is harsh. Trust me. :cool:

Any idea on warranty implications if I do either (springs or the coilovers)? Apologies if this has been discussed in the past. The car is a lease, and I will turn it back in prob in a year, for 2011 :)

Yeah, your suspension warranty will be void. One downside. :huh:

I have a set of OEM BMW 19" optional upgrade wheels for the e90 3 Series and from what I was told fit the e60 " x " cars.

Specs:

Wheels: Staggard Set Up

Fronts 8 x 19 ET37

Rears 9 x 19 ET39


Tires: Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Run Flat

Fronts 225/35/19

Rears 255/30/19

With those tires the overall rolling diameter will change too much. Also, are 225s up front on an e60 too narrow for ultimate road-holding?

I do think those rims are absolutely gorgeous though :thumbsup:
