[double trouble]

Questions:

Does anyone know if this fitment will work on an m5?

F 255/30/22- 9.5
R 295/25/22- 10

They are coming off a 6 series, non M.

Thanks,
Ben

The rolling diameter of these wheels is a tad smaller than stock but I did run this size when I picked up a set of used wheels and had no issues at all other than maybe the speedo reading a little wrong. For those wheel widths you ideally would want 35-series in the fronts and 30-series in the rear.

even though they are 22" wheels I should be running 35s and 30s? I have 20s on there now with 255/35 and 285/30. i would have thought it to be an issue from diameter. How about offsets? Any ideas if these will work on the E60 M5?

Thanks,
Ben

Oh thats my screw up, I thought you were referring to 20" wheels. If your doing 22" wheels then I wouldnt know and I highly would recommend against it unless your :eek7:

If you do decide to keep those 22" I do know you will have to have the correct offsets and will need to do use tires that are stretched with 25-series front and back and also you will most likely need to trim and maybe hack your fender walls. GL

No worries on the miscommunication. I know guys around here run 21s, and I don't think they have problems, I just don't know if the difference between 21s and 22s will be a deal breaker. They're HREs that I'm looking at, and the price is pretty fair -- assuming I can get the suckers to fit. And even then, I don't know if they will look too "bling"

Hey Ben, I actually have had 19's, 20's, 21's but never thought of even running 22's because that would be to much bling and would hurt performance and would take a larger toll on wear and tear of the suspension. I think even 21" is pushing it but that all depends what you are looking for in a wheel. If you want looks, I say max 21" if you want performance then 19" and if you want best of both, then 20".

Gl and I would recommend suggest HRE's but in 20's of course.

you be balling gangsta style wit dem 22's on da ///M. No traction, no ride comfort but it be better to look ill than to be funkshonal and safe. You kan have da first german donk in da world.

If you go with smaller diameter, the fitment won't be a problem.

Awful. This looks impractical and slow with its heavy wheels.
