I agree. When I get new tires (which unfortunately may not be long with a couple of driving schools this summer), I will try to find 285's. Would love PS2's but more than I want to spend. Good luck and let us know how they look/fit.

Installed today, love them. definitely not a harsher ride vs 18" RFT. Looks good considering factory sport suspension. Would look better with eibach or H&R springs but i am resisting the mod just for looks. Fender to tire gap similar to stock M5, maybe looks a little lower. Makes the 2008 LCI body look very nice. If they delivered the 535i sport with the 166 wheels and this tire size they would sell more cars. The 285 rears look very aggressive without rubbing with ET28 rear offset. pictures to follow. Also, should be about 10lb per corner lighter than stock.

Aftermarket springs, at least combined with quality struts, give you more than looks -- really improves the handling and the feeling of being connected to the road. I thought the OE sport suspension felt like it "floated" too much (at least compared to my previous 330i with modded suspension), but the aftermarket parts have really tightened things up...plus it looks good!

At least you got 124's with the sport package -- my car came with 123's (which I don't even like enough to use as winter wheels).

Gonna have to see how I like the ride height. Doesn't look bad, similar to LCI550iwsport pkg and a little lower than a stockM5. Just going to drive it for a while. I'm still looking for a reputable shop in the greater Phoenix area to do the spring install. Does anyone know what price the dealr will charge to re-align the suspension after the springs are installed? Either way, the car looks and rides much better than stock as it is.

Those would look sweet , just need a 10 or 11 inch rim to fit the 30 series 285's.

I've got 285/30-19 PS2s on 166M wheels and the tires look too narrow - Definitely zero curb protection.

I love the look of my 285/30's on 166's. I think on the factory sport suspension these tires fill the wheel wells much better than 275's.
