My Ride: ///M5 BEAST
Model Year: 2006
245/30/20 front
295/25/20 rear
I do have some rubbing in the rear whenever i take off quickly or hit any bumps and/or driveways. i need to get my fenders rolled. i have sport suspension and i have my car lowered on Eibach Springs...
i love the set-up...i have a 4" lip up front and a 5" lip in the rear.
only thing is these Detroit roads aren't very forgiving...we've got more potholes than cars on the road
here are a couple more pics....sry for the crappy resolution...its from my cellphone.

Alpina Classic 19" with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 245/35 front and 275/30 back. ET24 front and ET30 back, with 10mm spacer. I love the way the 20 spokes clearly show off the brake discs, which is especially noticeable on a sunny day at a distance. The Alpina emblem is spring loaded and slides away to reveal a lock in the hub cover. Great design and some degree of theft prevention. Notice there are no valves on the wheel; just a deep clean design. The valve is under the cover, in the center of the wheel, feeding air to the tyre through one of the spokes. A true classic which have been around in near unchanged form, albeit ever increasing size, since 1974.

BTW, I made a long journey from Denmark to Southern Germany to pick up the wheels. I didn't know if they would fit in the back, without folding down at least part of the rear seat. As it happened, the wheels fit like the rear was specifically made for a set of 19" complete with tyres. There was even a little space at the very back floor for a couple of small bags and all 5 seats fully useable. My family is upset with me now as they for no reason missed out on a great trip to a very sunny Germany.

well the ride quality as far as bumps and road conditions is very close for me...mostly because my winter wheels are 19s lol....
but performance wise, these are big and wide wheels....stopping and acceleration performance is noticeably less powerful when i have on my 20s....but what i lose in performance i definitely make up in appearance...
