Hey guys I can't seem to make up my mind on whether or not I leave these as is or go with something else. I picked up these oem E60 style269 rims a few weeks ago for a hell of a deal...

I don't plan on lowering my car (yet...) so I'm not concerned about tucking but what do you guys think? I was going to see if I can adjust the camber out to taper the wheels in a tad.

Open to your suggestions!

My rides an xDrive model
Wheel specs:
Front 8.5/19 ET18
Back 9.5/19 ET32

Tire specs:
From225/40/R19
Back 255/35/R19

The poking out is not unlike the guys fitting 437 M4 wheels on their stock suspension Fxx's.

As long as it does not rub what is the difference its your car, your preference.

If you lower your car about 3/4 of an inch to an inch, I think it'd look perfect. It may be poking out a tiny bit much, but it's not that bad.

Looks fine I got 245-35-19 square very similar

The spacers are a matter of personal taste.

The satellite dishes need to be moved.

Very good point, I was curious about what other people thought.

Thanks for the point of view. Yeah in person the prominence on the poking out is less noticeable but it's there. I've considering lowering it, there's just the other factors associated with lowering I need to consider I.e lifespan of existing struts and warranty.

Agreed on the satellite dish. Mines actually not even functional anymore. I just haven't had time to get up there to take it down.

Will putting coilovers or springs void the CPO warranty?

Just the suspension side of the warranty unless you get dinan springs.

Any other suspension parts other than dinan will void just that part.

Basically how BMW works is, whatever part you replace, the warranty is voided for that part and the part it connects to. If something breaks, they have to prove that part is the cause.

Regardless of future plans on closing the gap or not, my point of view it's perfect. You're right at the point on changing the look to most drivers who will notice your ride looks aggressive but subtle enough that they can't pinpoint why it looks so good. You can tell best by getting in a friends car at driver level, one car length behind yours and look at her @$$. If you are happy about it keep it....as others said it's your opinion that matters.

Looks great sir!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but...

You actually shouldn't have any poke out occurring. For the rears, you have 19x9.5 ET32 on the OEM 255/35R19 tires. Guys on here have been recommending 15mm spacers for the rear on OEM wheels. That would give: ET47 (OEM) - ET15 = ET32. Which equals the ET on your spec. It shouldn't poke out but should actually be flush with the fender. Now, the front ET18 will give a poke since, for OEM, ET26-24 would be flush with the fender.

They poked out like a 4x4. It was the nature of the offset via the 5 series rims. Tire widths didn't help.

I'm running 405's now with 10/15 spacers and the fit is spot on.

Well, that looks Falken amazing. Glad you sorted it out!

I've got poke out like the OP, I love it though so I'm not changing it! Stiff suspension takes care of any rubbing issues lol. I did spend my teen years in the muscle car era and the poke out on my car reminds me of that.
