    Recommend tyre sizes....

    Hi All ,

    Just curious is someone could suggest what tyre sizes i need to be looking at for my potential wheel purchase

    the wheels iam looking at are these sizes - 19x8.5 / 19x9.5

    They are going on a E60 M5

    dont want insulation tape bands on them ruining the ride...

    want somthing that will be comfoy enough but not fall into really rare sizes that will cost a fortune

    can anyone from experience suggest what i need to be looking at ?

    275/30 on rear and 245/35 on front would be perfect

    I reckon you could up a size in profile. Those sizes would suit an E90, surely an E60 can take more?

    If I go with the Inspiri wheels iam gonna put a full set of rears on here - 9.5 all round !!! Nice !

    What would you run size wise if you were in my position - iam useless with tyres sizes

    On 9.5s all around?

    A little stretch but decent amount of rubber- F: 235/40/19 R: 265/35/19 (You could drop a profile too if you wanted to but I don't see the point)

    Maximum rubber - F:255/40/19 R: 285/35/19

    I'm not sure what clearance is like on the front, but you could run a fully square setup front and rear (same wheel widths, offsets and tyre sizes) but it could potentially play havoc with the OBC.
