I'd like to know what tire size you have used and how the ride has differed.. For some reason tire rack has the 20" size of 255/35-20 which is about 1 inch taller than the standard tire. Is it just a mistake? I would think the right 20" tire size would be 255/30 but the ride would suffer tremendously im sure of it.. I live in Hong Kong BTW and most every wheel shop will sell 19" max to a sedan due to the bad road conditions. But IMO with the big door panels on the E60 i would need a nice 20" rim to fill out the fenders and make every thing look a bit more even..any thoughts? thanks! and Merry Christmas!

i really love the look of the 20" multi-piece AC Schnitzer Type IV
But they are heavy (32/33lbs) not forged, $1200 each, and I think the ride quality would suffer too much
right now its between 19" HRE 547 (also $1200 each in brushed finish) or go cheap, SSR GT3 ($620 each)
any sugggestions?

Quote: 20's will fit the E39. I just ordered a set. The optimum setup would be 20x8.5 +13mm and 20x10 +19mm. For tires you can use 255/35/20 all around or for the staggered look, 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. In staggered fitment Nitto 555 will cost $1024 or Toyo T1-S will cost $1070. Another option will be to use Falken GRB 451, these are more rounded on the shoulders than the Nitto's or Toyo's so you can actually fit 255/35/20 and 285/30/20 without any problems. The Falkens cost $924. As far as wheels my best pricing so far has been Boyd Coddington's forged series. These are two piece forged wheels which are custom welded. A set of 20's will run about $2600-2800. Check out www.boydcoddington.com or call them and ask for Bob.
