   hi all,the e39 needs abit more of a make over now my wallet recovered from the engine rebuild.............twice.
its lowered 30mm,and currently has style 32`s on it,but i just fancy a change.
so id like to know if im gonna face any issues with this spec of wheel
the fronts are 8.5 x 18
rears 9.5 x 18
however the company will only surply them with 235/40/18 tyres on the front and 265/30/18.is this going to cause any problems??
also what lowering springs/shocks does every one have.will the car being lowered effect the wheels above?i had a set fitted on back home by a local garage,i THINK there spax`s(there red any how),however on the mainland road it feels like your driving a leaf sprung landy,its awlful!so i really need to change them
