The 408m look good. Question. Did you order a square or staggered set? I think I will order a square set of front 19x9 ET32 and put a spacer on the rear so I can rotate the wheels year to year. I suppose an 8 or 10mm spacer would do the trick.

I ordered a staggerd set. I prefer not to run spacers, and based on the wear I experienced on my E60 M5 I can go 2 or 3 seasons without having to rotate the tires. I'll rotate them from the current set-up when I transfer the tires to the new rims - that will porobably be all that's necessary until the tires need replacement 2 or 3 seasons from now.

I've got the 255/40/19s. It is the closest size in diameter to the stock 20" setup with a 1 mm difference (taller) for a .2% speedo error. The 265s will be 9mm taller resulting in a 1.3% speedo error.

For those not following the winter wheels thread, I spoke to ADV1 today and they are certain that one of their 19x9.5 forgings will clear the M5's brakes. Im not going to get them because their lead time at the moment is longer than I want to wait. As far as I know, this is the only 19" wheel anyone has on the table, aside from the OEM's, that may work. So, if anyone does get a set, keep us posted.
If someone is going to go ahead and get them, make sure to have ADV1 double and triple check the fit and make sure you can return them if they dont end up clearing the brakes. I trust them and all, but, Im also a little jaded at this point. |
