Oh, ... you meant rims?

Seriously, though. Any idea what rims are those?

Think they are BBS CH/CH-R

I just bought these 18" staggered rims recently. Currently my E39 is with the original 16" rims, boge absorbers. Need advice what tyre size is best for these wheels? Do I need to change the absorbers or springs?

Can I stick with my current setups and change only the tyres and rims? Thanks!

Need advice what tyre size is best for these wheels?
*Front : 18 X 8 or 8.5 (et??), tyre 235/45/18
*Rear : 18 X 9 or 9.5 (et??), tyre 265/40/18

Do I need to change the absorbers or springs?
*Not nescessay if you prefer comfort ride
*If you want look and improve handling abit, i will suggest H&R Sport Spring RM1100++
*And if you want superb handling, go for Blistein B8

Thanks Vixxx,

I measured 18x8 front, 18x9.5back

I read somewhere factory 18" is using 235/40/18 and 265/35/18?

Wonder what will be the difference between the 2 setups

Nice M5 rims!

U should shoe it with 245/40/18 and 275/35/18. That is standard tyre size using in M5.
