The wheels are 2010 20x11 I wanted the same size wheel all the way around so I could rotate the tires. I have non directional all weather tires.
WR - Looks very nice!

I'm pulling a 5987# load with my '01 5spd.

I just bought a set of 87s and am researching my tires options.

Your tire diameter is much larger than most are using on this vehicle. How is that working out for you?

Most recommended tires for the E53 have a diameter of ~ 29" +/- .5". Yours are 31.13"!!

I think it looks a lot better with the larger tires and I'd like to do the same with mine. The larger diameter will also lower the typically high rpms of our E53s, especially those of us with manuals.

Any issues with tire rubbing, scraping, computer reprogramming, etc?

Regards - DS
