Sorry no GBs on iFORGED anytime soon, but I can get you a set for a awesome standard price. Let me know
And yes those were all 20s, no other way to go on the M5! LOL

Its a pretty large car (same dimensions as 2nd Gen GS actually) so the large wheels will flow just fine.
Go for it.

Don't forget, Pirelli and Continental offer 245/30-20 & 285/25-20- same diameter as
stock M5 245/40-18 and 275/35-18 or "plus one" 245/35-19 and 275/30-19.
Gotta go Dubs on this car!!!!!!!

I am still leaning toward 19 with a fatter tire setup for some ride quality...getting old!
255/35/19 and 285-295/30/19.
Thanks.

One front runner is the BBS LM. I kind of like the old-school look on the M5. Forged too.

Also, rememeber iFORGED and DPE now have stepped lip options for the 18 and 20" applications (gives that classic look as well).

Remember the M is s specific car, there is a reason BMW went with the 18s. I am sure they tested 19s but chose 18s.
If you don't really track it, I'd do 19s. IMO, 20s on a E39=
The car does not have the big-body style for 20s, to big for me.
And I'd do AC Shnitzer or Hammon before I'd try the others. BBS=**** as well.
