My Ride: 545 modded the F out
Slapped on my new wheels =/
With the sale of my DPE's I bought some temporary 19's (F10 M5 reps) that I think look pretty good. They offered them in Hyper Black which I really wanted, but the offsets were incorrect and I'd have to run like 25mm spacers all the way around so I settled for Matte Gunmetal. AFAIK I think I'm the first e60 to roll on these. Hopefully in the near future I'll be stepping up my wheel game again. For now I'm content with these since I'll be doing a considerable amount of driving.
I'll be installing the appropriate size spacers in the front and rear within the next few days. Totally forgot I had a dramatic roll and pull to accommodate the DPE's. These look so puny compared to them.

Thanks broski! I really wanted to get them in hyper black and I'm actually kinda already regretting not getting the fronts in a 9.5 as well just so the concavity would be just as sharp in the front as it is in the back. I totally didn't even realize that my DPE's were 9.5 in the front and 11 in the back so the 9.5 would have definitely cleared.
I tried doing a search but I didn't get a real solid answer. Does anyone know if it would be detrimental in any way to the car if I were to run a non staggered setup on the RWD e60? I mean I was running stretched tires on my last setup so I don't see how it could have been any different??. Oh well. Too late now.

looks good +1. similar setup to what I put on my past E60, with spacers on the front I put the 18" stock wheel off my E92 M3 which is a similar looking 10 spoke-split.
