Update:
okay... rubbing was extremely minor. Maybe a mm strip or paint was rubbed off the inside edge of the front fender lip, and only about 6" in length at that. About 10 minutes a side with the fender roller and that problem is gone. There are also some spots that the tire is rubbing on the liner, but I don't really care too much about that. In the rear, it is just barely getting into the liner just inside the lip of the wheel well, so nothing to worry about there.
All this could have been eliminated with with a 20mm offset up front vs the 18. 18 is spot on in the rear, though.
Still loving these things...

As the title states... Tires are 245/35 and 275/30 Yokohoma S-Drives.
Car is a 2007 550 with sport suspension.
Some Observations...
Oh My God... These things ride 100 times smoother than the RFTs did. My RFTs had some feathering so there ws a little bit of a rumble. Obviously that is gone, but the harshness that I didn't even realize was there is now non existent. These things ride super smooth. If you have RFTs and are wondering, don't wonder anymore. Night and day.
Wheel weights... didn't see this coming at all. 18x9 124 tipped in at 68 pounds with tire. 18x8 124 tipped in at 61 with tire. The 20x9.5 935 with tire was only 55 pounds while the front was only 52. That is a difference that can be felt driving and at the gas pump... whoa. Completely opposite of what I am used to having happen when going up 2 sizes in wheels. Extremely pleasant surprise...
No rubbing under normal driving, but I did catch my front fender a bit when pulling into my driveway, which has kind of a bad dip in it. Great. The ponly place I oto the most is gonna be the only place it will rub. Just need to be extra careful when pulling in I guess.
And the pics... Car got rained on and the wheels still have all the goop from getting mounted. These pics are maybe 20 minutes after I bolted them on.
Gonna take some pics at the studio at work as soon as I get it cleaned up. Pretty pleased so far. I might need to lower the thing, though. But I sure do like the stock ride, and I have been thru the ringer with lowered cars... might have finally learned my lesson, ha ha.

The wheels looks great. I just saw them on EBAY last night. I am wondering if they made the same wheel in 19s?
