Seems about right for the Sport pack.
The tires are probable 225/55 17" and the wheels Styling 138.
In US the wheels are 18" with the Sportpack but 19" would look nicest.
Look in the Gallery for cars with Sport suspension, there's lot of them there.
You can also compare to my car witch has the standard suspension.

The angle of the pics should be the same for comparison...
But the BMW E60 sport chassi is a bit lower (1,5 cm) without loosing the comfort.

What size are your rims? If I'm not mistaken are those 750i rims?
I like the way they look, please let me know.

I really can't tell much about the wheel gaps in the car he shows. For what is is worth, my bias is against the looks of lowered cars. I think that lowered cars tend to lose their look of agility/capabililty. An extreme is the Z06. I love its off-roader
appearance--which makes it look like what it is a streetable, very capable race car.
