Trying to stay financially responsible, difficult to justify with an M, but I digress. But the photos did verify the tire size profile I was wondering about: 295/30/22 vs 285/35/22. Difference in sidewall height is negligible, I believe 3.5 vs 3.9 inch respectively. Was hoping to move to 295/35/22, but worried about fender clearance. Will have to research more on this but it would give 4.1" side wall, still within 1% of OEM fitment (0.7%), but trying to scrape up as high side wall I can go without rubbing. Seems much more lower cost tire options in 285/35's than other sizes so that's a deciding factor too.
m3fuz: Would love to see a pic and shot of how far out they go. I'm sure more aggressive

After revisiting this, I might still consider the 22s. Who knows, we'll see if I want to keep the M. Might be much cheaper than getting a new one based on what I'm seeing!
FYI Vredestein makes the Vorti in those 22" sizes that BC Forged recommended. They also make the Wintrac Pro in those same sizes, so you could theoretically get 4 seasons out of them if you really wanted to maximize your spend by selling the 21s.
