Looks like njc has a 520d, so no M sport brakes.

But today i saw a 530e with M sport brakes, and it had 17" winters.

Looked like the 17" style 618.
It had VERY little clearance, and I'd be afraid that tiny rocks and pebbles would get stuck between the caliper and the barrel of the wheels and scrap them. I know this is a problem on the newest M3/M4 with carbon ceramic brakes and OEM 19" wheel. Personally I wouldn't go smaller than 18".
I am worrying about clearance as well. I am getting my 530e with blue m sport brake. In Canada, all G30s come standard with 19. I am debating if I need to get 20 inch. I am worrying about if 19 will have proper clearance
No need for 20" wheels. The wheels with the tiny clearance was only 17", so even OEM 18" wheels won't be a problem.
