Tyres

Just got my 5.. and my friends have been telling me to change to 18" tyres. They say the original 16" look like "roller blades". should I change the tyres?

Welcome to BMW.SG!

But seriously 18"s may still look like "roller blades" for a 5er. If you are going for the look I reckon at least a 19" for your car, although many will advice to go for 20" hehe

FYI alot of E90 3er already on 19"s. Anyway its your choice. Enjoy your stay here

Depending on your budget there are alot of rims to chose from. From Taiwan made rims, to BBS to tuner brands like AC, Breyton, Hamann, Kelleners, to Japanese rims like Schmiden, Volks/Advan etc. to Custom rims DPE, HRE etc etc..

As for my opinion I like DPE hehehe not being bias cos I know the guys , I like DPE even before OLL and Kenn became agents for them here in Singapore....

Re: Tyres

M5 with the S20 is nice! What are the width for front and rear?

Steven, for 20"s, typically 8.5 front 10 rear, but some will run 9.0 front 10.5 rear to fit wider tyres.......

Re: Tyres

16" would suggest a 520. Remember that when you get bigger rims, your performance, fuel consumption etc.... are affected.... myself, I am on 20" rims.

Re: Tyres

Same as you, i was procrastinating whether to change away the original 16". It took me a month before i decided to installed staggered 18". It just simply supeTake your time to choose a good and nice rim. Do it Once and Do it Good. Cheers
