I shouldn't have that problem as 335/25R22 rears and 295/30R22 fronts should be plenty of tire to protect the wheel. Obviously, blatantly curbing them while parallel parking or such will still be an issue.

Yeah I agree with you, I had a tire package that the front wheel lip stuck out obnoxiously, I did it in the drive through once and then my wife did it in a turn around the block.

Nothing worst then that scraping sound

Off course it rains the day I get my new wheels and tires on so excuse the crappy pics. Happy with how it turned out. Ebay fender flares should be here tomorrow.

22" wheels? How much did you spend if you don't mind sharing (Wheels, tires, TPMS, etc.)?

They look awesome but be careful as I cracked 3 of these same replica rims in the past at 22". So frustrating.

Yes sir, 22" reps. Reused TPMS and center caps and paid roughly $2K for the wheels and tires mounted and balanced. I've heard a few guys on here having cracking issues with reps. I'm hoping I don't have that issue but wheels are under warranty with the company I purchased from. Also, roads here in TN aren't that bad. I had reps and low profile tires on my E46 M3 for a good 8 years and didn't have any cracks (knock on wood).

Not a bad deal at all. Nicely done!

From my experience, the warranty only covers manufacturers defects and once you mount the tires you're on your own. The warranty is for when they are delivered, in one case, a wheel showed up and was not round out of the box. Had to send it back under warranty.

Anywho, love the set-up and keep us in the loop on the quality of the wheels.

Very Nice.

Nice! I would post my 375s if only i knew how to post pictures from my tablet

Those are really sweet looking! Are you going to do color matched fender flares or black?

I had heard warranty was voided upon mounting. Crossing my fingers I don't crack a wheel but if I do replacement wont be to costly (looking at this with a glass is half full perspective)

Thank you sir! They honestly look better than those crappy pics depict. Hoping to get better pics soon. Pics don't do the perfect stance much justice. I have ebay fender flares on the way and do plan on color matching them. A few buddies were back and forth on whether I should paint them. I think there's a ton of black in the wheel well and the color matches will help break that up. Oh well, I plan on test fitting before I get them painted so I'll snap some pics and get you guys opinion as well.

So in terms of ride quality it is a bit more bumpier than the 19" RFT but with that low of a profile tire that's to be expected. I'm also thinking I should drop the PSI some and see if that helps. The shop set the psi at 40 front and 46 rear. I'm thinking that's a touch to high. Hard to determine though with the oversized tires. I do know that max psi is 50 so 46 seems high. Factory specs call for 36F and 44R. I'm thinking I might try out 36F and 42R and see how that feels. Overall super happy though! Appreciate all the positive feedback!

I've since installed ebay fender flares color matched mineral white as well as 20mm wheel spacers in rear and 15mm up front. Looks perfect now. Appears to be lowered since the fender is no longer black giving the illusion of more wheel gap. Now don't get me wrong, it could still be lowered a bit but it's no longer an eye sore. Tires are the Atturo AZ850s and I love them! Wheels have been perfect so far too. I am very careful to try to dodge all potholes. I'll clean her up and take some pics here soon and update the thread.

I found a crappy cell phone pic I took after the ebay fender flares but before the wheel spacers were added.

Looking good!

How are the wheels holding up? and what was the process of getting the fender flares painted?

Wheels would be great if I'd quit curbing the front passenger side wheel Aggressive spacers plus very little tire sidewall is challenging. Happy with both the wheels and ebay flares. Bought the flares off ebay, then had a local bodyshop paint for $350 then installed them myself.

Have you thought about putting the BMW center caps to the wheels?

really nice look M302_imola. any other exterior mods planned?

mrod81, did you mod the roundels? there is a fair bit of black on mine as well and not sure if i want to remove the chrome surround, change blue to black, etc.
