Hey guys listen I decided to see if i could get some help here on the fest!

Look I had these style 5s and I never had this problem with the style 5s on my car and I decided to upgrade to the M3 Wheels which are 19 inches ( pictures attached ofcourse) :) everything is perfect but here is where im stumped!!

THE BRAKES SQEAL! lol I changed changed the pads and rotors and sensors with like 3 different combinations already but it still does it. I even pit disc brake quiet on the back of the pads, still does it! Now mind this is using the 528i original brakes. So my question is!

Is there something in this world I can do or is it because I need a big brake kit.

The reason the big brake kit come to my mind as a solution is because (my mind) thinks that since the wheel is bigger and the circumference is greater it need more surface area for pad and rotor contact, and right now its not getting it lol

I dont know if im right or what but maybe someone can help ... actually.. please help me.. no .. i didnt say it right ... I meant to say PLEASE I HELP ME !!!! I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER !!!!:thumbup:

No you dont need BBK. What offset are the 19's? Those have to be replicas right?

The only way to make those work on your car is to really lower and slam your ride..then maybe it will look decent. What size are you running on those 19's? Something doesn't look right.
What is the centerbore? You switched from classic style 5's to those? and a dual exhaust/muffler setup on an I6 car? Uncle Bens comes to mind.
Its gotta be 74.1 mm E39 centerbore right? All other BMW wheels are smaller in bore and theoretically should not fit at all?
Some may say rice, but I dont see an issue putting dual exhaust setup purely for aesthetic reasons as long as it looks good. Do it if you like it, its your car.
