E39 fitment?

[PavelK313]

Why so small, unless as low as you? 245/40 & 265/35 fit under mine with no rubbing even under a full load and I tucked the rear a little...

If you can fit a wheel as aggressive as mine are with 245/265 then go for it...

I would still go with stock tyre size, on 9.5" and 10.5" wheels with stock tyres(235/40 & 265/35) will have nice stretch. Other than that they ride really nice.. and speedo will be ok!

Other than that, 'full size' tyres can handle the bigger load as E39 is "big" car and even so with having touring the possibility that you have something with you..

because stretch! full size tire will limit a few things

I guess i'll go for a mix between Pavel and you the R2d.
But also i forgot to ask about the offset on 9,5/10,5?

And since i have been in the Honda scene for quite a while, i have no idea where to get some wheels for my ride, you guys got any directions?
I feel like a dumb noob all over again, lol :P

215/40 front and 225/40 rear.

Thank you!
Then my questions are over, for now

[PavelK313]

Gotta agree with you there!
My friends has told me the same, go for 19's. But i like the look of 18's more.
But they also said that i should go for 19x8's

Anyways, what tires would you recomend for 18x9,5/10,5?

19's look huge on non-M bumpers cars.
18's can get you lower and ride little nicer than 19's.

i dont like the look, too much space inbetween the bumpers and arches... too each his own on that

[PavelK313]

dont be afraid of width, e39s are big cars and can fit some big wheels, i personally think 19s are the best way to go, they fill the wheel arches alot more than 18s. you can pretty much tuck 19s and be low as all hell but not "cant drive anywhere low" ( if that makes sense). 9 or 10s upfront and 10/11 rears is always a safe bet, -10 on a 9 upfront is right on the money and anywhere from a 0 through +10 in the rears on 10inch rim is good too might require a bit of phonebooking but nothing special

Seriously: just go about the stock tyre sizes(18": 235/40/18 & 265/35/18) and lower enought to just tuck tyre.. and thats about it, for starters. if you want more then...

Something like this, is all i want ^^
And Pavel, your ride is freakin awesome, love it!
