19" wheels
Anyone have links to 19" wheels that will fit the M5 base? I chose the 19s because of crappy roads here and need to get some wheels for winter tires.
I've checked Tire Rack and a few other places but they don't seem to have anything. I'll contact them directly once I have the car and started looking a little harder, but I've literally found none. I'm assuming it's a brake size issue from some short comments I've seen around the net. At this point I'm seeing my only sure option is buying BMW wheels from the dealer, and I have to assume that will be expensive. Thanks for any suggestions. |

There isn't even a winter 19" option other than the stock 705m wheels and I think you'll find just about every aftermarket option is a 20"
You wouldn't consider a 20" for summer and keep the current 19" for winter?

Roads are terrible here and running 20's at any time is more risk than I want and running them in the winters is just asking for trouble, lol. Do you know if the problem is the brakes not fitting on most 19's? I know 19's in this bolt pattern are available since you can get them |

No idea about what wheels would or wouldn't fit over the brakes but I would definitely think you'll find it a bit tricky!

Subscribed. Given how small the clearance is with the 20s, I am curious about 19s...seems like it would be crazy-tight upfront. Excited for people to add to this thread as we get closer to winter. Thanks.

I wouldn't get too excited, these cars have been out for a couple winters and info is sparse at best for 19" wheels. If I find anything other than the stock wheels I'll post it here. |

BMW offers the 706 wheels in 19'' and they fit the F90 M5.
As far as after market is concerned, so far, I found GTS wheels (the G505). I wrote an email to the manufacturer and they assured me that their 19'' wheels do fit the F90 M5. It even comes in two (2) different colors: Matte Black or Titanium. Being form Montreal, no way I will drive 20'' wheels in the winter. |

Do you have a link to the G505 wheels you're talking about? I'm looking for something inexpensive (which is the opposite from most M5 owners). I'm from the metro Detroit area and I can assure you I won't be riding on 20" wheels here either. Our roads are trash most of the year. |

Hi guys,
Just ordered GTS510 wheels in 19'' for a winter set up for my M5Comp. I reached out to GTS Wheels and they referred me to a super nice guy in the Montreal area (Laval) and together, we looked at the options for a winter set up of 19's. GTS just put out the GTS 510 on top of the GTS 505. The ETA is even closer to our original summer set up. I opted for a square set up of 265 40 R19. The tires are Michelin Alpin. I do not know these tires for I am a big fan of Nokian. However, Nokian does not make tires of this size. The GTS link goes as follows : http://gtswheels.com/ Will post pics of the GTS 505 and the 510 |

All in (including 14% taxes), I paid $3300 Cdn dollars. This includes:
- TPMS (4X) - Michelin PILOT ALPIN PA4 DIREZIONALE (265 40 R19) - GTS 510 (4X) - Installation To give you an idea, BMW dealers in Montreal charge $6000 (PLUS taxes) for a set of 705's BMW wheels with the same tires. I do not know if it includes TPMS or not and if the installation is covered or not. All things considered, my set up is 50% cheaper. I also think the GTS wheels look better. But it is only my personal taste ! |

Stupid question, you haven't actually put them on yet, right? Obviously it's not time for winter wheels yet, but was curious if you checked that they do fit. The front brakes are huge and the lack of 19"s that fit is making me a little paranoid about getting something and having to go through the effort of returning them. Having a local shop would obviously mitigate that a bunch. |

They are not on yet. I do not have them yet either. I placed the order this week for I did not want to be left waiting for back orders when the rush for winter tires comes. Bear in mind that winter tires are mandatory in Quebec starting Dec. 15. So there really is a rush around that time and many people are facing availability issues...
As far as fitment is concerned, GTS were adamant on the fact that they fit perfectly. I took the time to write to them first. They told me that they only had the 505's available in 19'' but that they were coming with the 510's in September. The 510's are the ones I ordered. I also read somewhere on this Forum that a guy from around here was able to fit Fast Wheels (19'') for his winter set up. He even posted pics. This is what he rode for last winter (2018-19). As soon as I get them, I will do a fit test and post pics. |

I mean, if the manf not only insist they're a good fit, then you'll probably be fine. And if not, you're getting them locally so you have somewhere to walk in to and complain, unlike an online retailer. I Googled FastWheels, but they don't appear to have any SE Michigan dealers and I really don't want to cross into Windor or Sarnia to do this. Hopefully you'll get yours before I feel compelled to order mine. I guess I can start with emailing GTS and see if they have a dealer near me. Last edited by nlaak; 08-10-2019 at 07:56 PM.. |
