Nice setup! Are the wheels Staggered or Square? That said, it looks like BMW increased the aspect ratio to "40" for the 20" wheels vs 35 front/30 rear, as I believe the previous gen 5'er had 40 series tires on 19" square wheels and not on 20" wheels.

They are staggered and 20”

I'll put it this way: 19" on the G30 looks like 20" on the big G60.

G30: 245/40 R19
G60: 245/45 R19

Nice! It's good that BMW increased the aspect ratio to help with ride and freak'n road imperfections!

So, the aspect ratio of the rear tires is 35 or 40? If I recall, the photo of the wheel where I saw the tire size was of a front tire.
