those rims look great! I don't think you'll need to roll the fenders for 19".... but you should be careful about the ACS rims, as they are very soft and can be bent easily.. but I don't think Las Vegas has as many potholes as we do on the east coast...

Do I need to roll the fenders to make it receive the M5 rims and tires??? Dunlops. and what would that cost be???
If you switch to 265 width tires in the back, you will not have to roll the fenders and you will not need to purchase the M5 fender liners. No rubbing at all. And it's nearly impossible to tell without reading the tire sidewall that you've gone 10mm skinnier.

I saw an ad from someone in Seattle selling re-furbished 19" ACS rims (with P-zero tires). I posted the following thread, and after seeing the board's input I passed.

No need to go to 265's if you go 30 profile. I actually have 285's on 19's with 30 profile on 10 inch wheels. No rolling of the fenders necessary and absolutely no rubbing

We're talking about his wife's 528i here! I think that's the car Arthur Ho was worried about having to roll fenders on when he transferred his stock M5 wheels over to it. Not the M5.
