Thank you constant,
Will post pics of my Xi once I get the Spoilers painted and on
Also
Late last night I read that if I do kW v3 I might lose my dsc function amongst other electronics
I will retread but if someone can throw a quik answer to me , I will be grateful

My Ride: 2007 530i
Ok I have paged though the entire thread and much to read and digest but still need advise. My previous Bimmer was a e34 w/ Koni Shocks, Eibach Springs, ACS Type III 18x8.5 w/ 245/40-18 and ACS Sway Bars and RD Strut brace. I loved what it did for the car how can I accomplish this on the 2006 530xi that I just bought.
I would like to run 19" non-staggered rims. So to start out what are other shock options with lowering springs? Bilstein Sports F & R?
Not sure what rims I will run yet but looking at the ACS site their 19" rims are ET-15 front and ET-8 rear with 245/35-19 tires.
I want to get rid of as much of the wheel well gap as I can and take up as much space in the well. Will the fenders need to be rolled?
Here is a couple of pics of my old e34
The OEM 17" rims was is the correct specs? 17x7? offset ???
So for starters I want to swap shocks and springs w/ rims and tires. Any advise would be great!

Hey guys, been a while since I was in here. I have a quick question. I'm looking at a used set of DPE r05's from a f30 (non-m) with specs of 19x8.5 et 35 front and 19x10 et 38 rear e46/e90/f30 non-m)...I think the offsets work for my 09 535xi, but not sure about the rear diameter. Can anyone confirm 10" will work? Also will I be able to do an OEM m5 brake swap in the front without any issues? Riding on stock suspension but will be getting kw3's later this summer.

I think ET35 and up will work from what I have found. For the diameter. go to 1010tires.com and you should be able to determine that from the calculators. I don't know about the brake swap. Let us know.

Go to the tire size calculator and go up in size until it tells you it won't fit. That will be a good starting point, but other than actually trying them you won't know for sure.
