        Aftermarket Wheel Q's???
        I'm currently searching for my perfect M5 (really just waiting to sell my E46 M3 first).

        I can't seem to find any info about what the largest (width) wheels can be run on front and rear of this car (stock suspension) and what are the correct offsets. I have to believe that larger wheels and tires can fit this car then will fit on my E46 M3 (which can easily handle a 18x9.5 with 275 front and 18x10 w/ 275/285 on the rear).

        Thanks.

        I think the max is 9's in the front and 11's in the rear.... though you would need to roll the fenders a little bit more...

        I agree with Tfung. Some people have run 9.5" M5 wheels in front, but it requires spacers.

        Someone on the M5 board has 11.5" wheels or something on the M5. It's in the Owner's gallery.
