No, offense to the people who keep asking but most of the questions have been answered through and through, just read the thread. And just to clarify the whole confusion with staggered yes you can run it with the proper tire sizes. My car is aproaching 80k miles Still no issues

Hey man, I posted a while back on this thread inquiring about many of the questions you are. I have a E60 530XI. I bought 8.5x20 Fronts ET 35 and 10x20 Rears ET40. I am running Hankook 245/35/20 F and 275/30/20 R. I put them on this FRIDAY....I am running KW3 Coilovers so I can always adjust height...I posted pictures of my drop in another thread I'm pretty low on stock E60 Wheels.

I sure hope they FIT...I did enough research where I am 90% sure they will...but you never know.

I'll post pictures as soon as they are on the car....

Apex Research makes a nice wheel that should sit great with some stretch and a proper stance.
Might have to roll those fenders a bit, but I doubt it. Here're da speczzz:

Elena got her new shoes....she sits nice, stance I'm pleased with. Ride quality very good. After 41 pages not one person mentioned common REAR LEFT FENDER RUBBING? Apparently my friends M5 E60 did the same...hmm
I have played with my KW3 adjusting rebound and raised quarter inch but still shaving rubber on fender on one side only.
I called the DOC over and we rolled my rear fenders. Mild Roll, enough without cracking paint. Much better. Then again I also stiffened my Coils..
As promised here are some early bird pics!

Thanks to all the info in various threads, and help from a few members, I ordered up my wheels and tires and they fit quite well. I did end up going with the slightly taller tire, but so far, not rubbing, even with carrying my winters in the trunk, and hitting a dip leading into an incline at a nice clip.
