they look fine to me! can you take a pic that shows closer detail of the area where the tire and rim meet? I want to see exactly how much the rim sticks out from the tire.
275/30-19 on OEM M6 (same size than M5).

generals are great tires for their price. they offer some rim protection but it depends on the way you drive. i had the general tires when I had my 166s on my car and had no problems with them

Hey guy's, open question to all (I need to know) Does the 245/35 & 275/30/19 set up look visually appealing on the m166's? since they are SLIGHTLY (approx. 1/2 inch narrower) than the stock m tires, I thought about the possibility of too much rim lip sticking out from the bead area of the tire Comments please.
