I've got the same rims on my car. I'm running 265/40/21 Continental Sport Contact 2 tires (OEM spec and summer tires). Now there's a couple more choices for tires since the Bentley Mulsanne and Porsche Macan use that size tire.

The lugs I originally ran were the stock ones. But I've since added 20mm spacers in the rear and 15mm spacers in the front to make it more flush. I'm using H&R 60mm and 55mm bolts.

I just looked up those Pirellis, I'm glad someone finally makes all seasons for this size! Please do report your opinions on the tire after using them. Tire Rack doesn't list a price for them, do you mind telling me how much you paid and from where?

Tires are working out great. i special ordered them from radialtire.com (they are local to me). Now all i need is some spacers. I also lowered the car on H&R springs and got an alignment done right after. Seems to be all A-OK.

That's nice! How's the road noise? These will likely be my replacements when time is due, and they're about $75 cheaper per tire.

Sounds good to me (no pun intended)!

I just switched from the stock 19" Pierellis on my E63 to 20" Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Although regarded as a very good tire, all I hear is road noise now! The cost of paying to playing.
