I forgot to add you can buy the ultraracing bars on EBAY. Just search using ultraracing bars and e60. The price includes shipping.

Bump..


I am picking up my 08 535xi on weds..

i think I am going to go with the Avant Garde 368's in the 20" staggered setup. or possibly the rotiform super concave nue... nue

I have had 5 3er's over the years and always ran 19's on them, but with the bigger body of a e60 I am going to go for a 20.

I just wish i could find a picture of these 368's on a white e60.

look amazing on the f10... scroll to the bottom to see pics

in Illinois? Guess you will also be friends with the wheel repair shop?

The nue's are very cool but the 368 looks like an audi wheel.

Whew, just went through all 37 pages! Great info here! I'm a new 2008 535Xi owner coming from owning a 2001 330Ci. I've been a long time member of E46Fanatics and no stranger to modding... but wow, the Xi seems like a particular beast!

So maybe I've missed it, but I have not seen anyone here with an E60Xi running the Alufelgen CS7s (seen many SF-71's). Here are the specs I'm looking to purchase:

FRONT: 19" X 8.5" ET35, 245/35/19 tire
REAR: 19" X 9.5" ET35, 275/30/19 tire

What do you guys think? Any recommendations/suggestions/comments? Thanks for your help!

Will be perfect. I'd try to get the offset a 30-33 in the rear for a little more proper staggered look. See if you can.

those offsets and widths will already look perfectly matched. 2-5 mm isn't going to make it look better!

Thanks a lot guys. This thread has been very helpful! You guys have any recommendations for tire brands/series?

Here are some photos of my old 330Ci... drove her up to 170,000 miles!





Also ran black BBS reps for a while:



And here is the new blank canvas!

Well, you can definitely use non-M E46 wheels - offsets are a perfect match for Xi

Love those seats on your E46 btw!
