I wouldn't switch...Thats way to much money to spend for getting a wider tire....Enjoy what you got and switch once the tires wear out....

It's all in your head...Nobody will really even notice if you go bigger on the tire....Also you will add more weight to the wheels and the tires really won't give you any added benefit...But it's up to you...Most people don't run the 295 in the rear either...I'd just keep the money for another mod...IMHO...

I'm not really feeling the wheels either. They look convex, rather than concave.

That's like saying no one is going to notice your LCI tail lights.

I agree to use the money for those other things we were talking about.

That is true....Probably 80% of people won't notice a difference in the tailights....Thats because alot of people are not bmw ethusiasts....Imho about 99% of people won't notice a difference from a 295 to a 305....Espically because you have to bend over to see the tires, since our cars are so low....Even then, all I would say is thats a big ass tire...
