F10 535 with M5 343M. My New Rims for Summer - Must. Dodge. Potholes.
I was running Beyern 20" Mesh rims for a couple years and had all sorts of problems. I managed to bend all four of them (because they are literally made out of butter) and needed something else. Something stronger. Something that would give me the OEM+ look i'm after. So, after a few months of looking and debating between Vossen CV4's, MORR VS8.2's, and OEM 343M rims, I decided to pull the trigger. Let me know what you guys think.
Specs: OEM 343M rims with Bridgestone Potenza RE 760 Sport's Front 20x9 ET34 245/35/20 Rear 20x10 ET34 285/30/20 |

Thanks a lot. Nah, no spacers and perfectly flush front and back. I've driven under load too and no rubbing either.

Do you have springs or factory ride hight? The car looks like it sits perfectly! my one concern with putting these wheels on my 550xi M sport is that I will have unsightly wheel gap...

One note though: if you get OEM 343M wheels for your 550, you will need some small spacers in the front to clear your brake calipers. I think 3mm ones will do the trick. |

How much of a gap is there in the front and back, between the fender and the tire I have the same rims with the 245 PSS upfront on my 535 xdrive and I can stick 4 fingers between the front fender and tire. Could it be because I still have the 295 tire in the back? (285 is on order) |

As for the 245 in the front... does it look like the 245 is a little more stretched than the 285 in the back? I'm considering using a 255 upfront. To make the front and back stretch look the same, also to protect the rim just a little more. Hoping that the 255 will still be OK with the ACS springs. |

Here the xDrive actually comes with 245/275 staggered wheels and tires if you have the m-sport package.
