I actually had looked into it, the M5 runs with 255/40/19 front, and 285/35/19 rear - and that doesnt fit on our Xi Models, so for me w/fatter tires (45/40), lower offset, and narrower tires, I think it should fit?
But not convinced on the ride quality. The M5 is pretty bumpy/rough even with the thicker tire-ratios.
Thanks again.

I think those tire sizes actually work fine, it's the wheel offsets that won't fit an xi in the front.
Anyway, the ride will be like my car which I find to be great. A sedan doesn't actually weigh much different and the weight balance is almost the same as well so I am sure you'll be pleased.
