Let me clarify. I know you had said that you went for 255 instead of 265 because it needed 5mm spacers. From that I take it you don't have any spacers. But I've always thought that if you lower a car, it will require spacers to push the wheels out around the arches - with the larger tyres, I was wondering if that is still the case?
Ok, my 650i cabriolet is lowered on Eibach springs specific for this application, I have to use front 5mm spacers because of the huge OE front calipers and the Michelin PSS 255's series are perfectly flush. You can go with 265's but in my case being so anal that small difference is visible. Thanks for your interest.
