Ive driven my E60 in the winter since I got it and I love it. Fresh powder days are always so much fun becuase there arent nearly as many people on the roads so there is that much more drift space.

Ive been using 245/45/18 Michelin PA3's all square on my E60 and I want to figure the winters for the F10 so as not to find myself in trouble (after a mild winter last year Im predicting a snowy september/october for us this year).

Most people have been suggesting 255/40/19 and that is what I am leaning towards, but, I remember hearing some horror stories from people using 19 inch winters on their E60 M5's. Will an 18 inch wheel fit over the brakes on the F10? 245/45/18 are within about 2.5% percent of the stock diameter; is that close enough?
