Thanks everyone! So far when I keep my foot out of the throttle, mpg's aren't all that horrible on the fwy. Yesterday I was averaging 18-19mpg, which is pretty close to what the 550 was averaging.

Yeah, it will need a drop regardless with the 19's...even with the stock m6 wheels/ tires there is way more fender gap than than the 550 had with stock sport suspension, and the 19's

Thanks everyone.....yeah, it does seem like I just posted up the snow pics..lol

What does everyone think about putting the M6 tires on my Avant Garde wheels that I had on the 550? Hard to tell, but here is how it looks with the 550 tires. I think with the M6 tires (285/35 rear, 255/40 front) it would look pretty darn good.

Opinions please

Those wheels look good, but a little too small on the 6er. Congrats on the new beast, you're going to enjoy it
