19" on 04 530i

[Hojai]

i am planning on getting a set of 19" for my 530i .........
i am a BMW newbie, so what should be the offset and the maximum width for front and rear for both tires and rims?
is this the same as E39?

 

[bahnstormer]

wow good question
hmm
i'll look it up for u heheh, but why 19's?
what is the stock wheel a 17"?

 

[Hojai]

yes the stock is 17"
thanks

Hojai: Please think about what your doing before you make a huge mistake. 19" wheels DO NOT belong on a BMW.

I am curious of this subject as well. And why do 19's not belong? Anybody have anything bigger on their ride?

Hi,
Already confirmed in this thread, 19"rims do look great on a 530 E39.
The tires stick to the road. I choose for the Mtech rims.

I just paid a PRETTY PENNY but I ordered a set of 5 star 19" from BMW Paid 3500,00 Euro but man do they look SWEET. When I get them mounted I will post picks.
PEACE

I'm sorry, but those 20's do not look good. Maybe some AC Schnitzers or Hamann rims. Chromed out BMW's???? Why do you want to feel every bump and pebble on the road with those 20's?

Okay, before anyone gets angry and sends hate mail back..........this is just my opinion. It's your money and your car. Have fun.
