As far as rear tire since 343 has already 10mm less offset ( 34mm vs 44mm) so basically it sticks out 10mm that will offset the 10 mm wider tire (inside) however the wheels stand out about 20 mm that is ok with rear fenders of 6er... as I said they look more aggressive...

Thanks so based on the above, it seems that the stock tyres from the M5 343M is doable. But I'm wondering why some of the guys didn't do this? Deda (275 rear)/Downfourit (went 285 rear).
I was told by BMW re the M5 343M wheels (with the stock tyre) that "the front wheel will be 6mm closer to the shock absorber and stick out 8mm further than the current wheel (373M). The rear will be 3mm closer to the shock absorber and stick out 23mm further than the current wheel. Personally I think the rear wheels will be sticking out too far"
Here's what happened when they tried to put 433M (rear right view). I understand its a different offset to the M5 343M but BMW said it would stick out the same amount!
