Hope these images will help you make your decision on the sizing. 
It definitely helps me on sizing!
I think 18" is big enough for me.
Were they 245/45 and 275/40?
Did you find out the cause of vibration?

I will be shopping for winter wheels in 18 inch size -- not because I like the look of 18s on the E60 but because I need taller sidewalls on the tires to have a chance of surviving the winter potholes here.
Are the 550 reps in 18 or 19 inch sizes? Who makes them? Pictures?
What 18 inch wheels you have in stock for the E60 have the strongest construction?
I have found that cheap, weak wheels have to be thrown out after 1 NYC winter due to bending caused by pothole impacts.

245 for the front is rather large as well.
If you are doing sizes - 245/45 and 265/40 is a good option.

18" wheels are all equally strong, but we believe the CSL ones are the best at avoiding bending or cracking over horrible terrain.
The vibration may have been a factor of bad hub rings (we've had 2 cases of those and have shipped out new rings to both that seemed to solve it) or simply a bad road balance (happens).

I do not run staggered set up in the winter. Do you have 4 18 inch wheels in the smaller size for the CSLs?
Are they cast or forged?
What is the price in a non-staggered, 18 inch configuration shipped?
Thanks.

18s look much better in real life than in pictures.

Yes, vibrations can be due to different factors but i dont remember trying different hub rings cause the rings seem fine. I had the car wheels balance twice and both times didnt fix issues.
Thank you yes, any objections to using those photos?
Nope, you can use these photo's if you would like.

Do CSLs come in 18 inch sizes? If so, what's the wheel size?
