[QUOTE="thule, post: 488853, member: 14511"] Lol!! Learn by paying extra $$$ huh? Yup.. Been there, done that! When I changed to 18" breyton race gts rims.. The shop that sold me the rims didnt tell me that the offset wouldn't fit my E60. Only 19" & above could fit perfectly (a fact that I realized after paying the bill). What to do? Hafta spend more $$$ buying spacers so the rims could be fitted onto my JOY. I think that E60 with stock M-sport suspension looks good enough. The only thing that you need is to invest in better anti-roll bars such as h&R or Ultra Racing for better handling & cornering :top: Eibach, Tein, Bilstein will lower ur ride & more bumpy.. Some places with steep slopes & your bumper will scratch against it (something I really hate). And don't go for 275 tire unless your rim has width of 9.5! 18" rims normally are 8.5! wider tire will slow your acceleration. If you want your rear wheel to protude out near the fender.. Get 20mm spacer (Breyton is good). Same goes to your front wheel.. 20mm :D you will notice the difference. Oh yes.. Also get Goodridge brake hose (stainless steel) to replace our stock rubber brake hose ok? It's a one time investment. Btw in case you do not know, Goodridge is OEM manufacturer (brake hose) for Brembo. I've learned the hard way! [/QUOTE]
