not a big fan of the wheel sticking out like that, no curb protection at all and somehow it gives the impression that the tires are just a bit too small.
Besides, those rims wouldn't last one day with my wife's parallel parking technique.

My Ride: 07 530i Mystic Blue
I'm running Hankook V12s and love them thus far. Hopefully I can get 20k miles out of them. Tires grip well.
edit: Yes, you can fit 285s in the rear - that's what I'm running with 19x11.0-stock sports suspension. I don't experience any rubbing. However, since you've dropped yours with H&R, may thus have to roll your fenders(?)

I'm actually getting a good deal as well from my buddy at LTBMW here in socal,
800 for whatever tires I choose installed, mounted and balanced...so hankooks is super quite?
Don't get this part about tires being noisy or quite? Is there a specific sound it makes? coz I can't seem to
Pin point the sound?? Thanks

yup thats me, and you can do it its based on inner and outer barrel dimensions as well as tire size and lowering with camber
