Exclamation Currently running M5 wheels with 295/30-20

Hey,

I'm currently running OEM M5 wheels on my 650xi GC, I didn't run the M6 wheels because the rear's are much wider and being that the wheelbase on the 6 series is adopted from the 5 series I just went with the M5 wheels. I'm currently stacked with 295/30-20 in the rear it sticks out a little, can I go down to 285/30-20 without issue? I'm going to lower my car and the wheels are going to rub in it's current stage.

Yes, I can email them to you because I use this site from my Iphone. So it doesn't allow me to upload pics from it.

A friend from 6post told me it's sticking out 10mm, that I should run 285/30-20 because I'm interested in lowering the car.

How Much will the camber adjust the tires when you drop it?

Not that you want to change it from plumb level ... but depending on how you drop it, it may tuck the upper edge in ... I could be wrong from an engineering perspective ... anyone else ???

I'd try and leave the camber untouched to max tire patch contact

Not to mention too much makes the car look just plain dumb

Good to hear 325 can be installed on rear but do you know by chance about the offset of your 21" rims?

Like I suggested before ... Contact Manu at Aristo Collection for the info ... He will be happy to help ... I asked him for the info as he built the rims ... and he asked me to have you contact him .. SORRY
