With that larger rolling diameter you will be a lot less speedy to Its ok since you have that whopping 220 foot pounds of torque to work with, losing torque with your new set up is no big deal

Enjoy the huge tires and loss of torque! Plus who knows how heavy those things are which will worsen things even more!
I think the Miro's are very light so I wouldn't be overly concerned with unsprung weight.

Should I be as worried as i am?
AWG: No, it's not a problem. You won't rub and the diameter will make almost no difference. Don't fret, just enjoy your new set-up.

I didnt buy a 530i to race around like my car is extremely fast. If i was worried about horsepower and speed i wouldnt of bought a 530.

BTW the miro 20in rim weighs 26 pounds according to modbargins. Stock rim weighs 21 pounds. Get some information and then post a smartass comment next time...
