I have a set of the Atturo AZ850 on my 22s but I'm waiting until the weather is a bit better before putting the wheels on. I went with the 275/35 and 315/30.
Mine are the AZ850s as well. In fact, I think it is one of your posts that led me to research them. I don't have to worry about winter so I slapped them on as soon as I got them. So far they are impressive, hook up really well and provide solid traction. On the freeway at 80 they are not loud at all, so minimal noise. I ripped around a corner and they hold really well. I'd say for the cost, the value for the money is a solid 10. I am not worried about how fast they wear because of how cheap they will be to replace but so far I would recommend them.

The wheels are 10.5 front and 12 rear so I went with the 295/30 and 335/25. They are wide as hell.

As for the calipers, I decided to get them painted at the shop to cover up their factory ugly appearance and rust that was already on one. They did a great job with them and it completes the look. I will do tint next and then the final thing is a tune. Here are some other pics.
I had Atturos on my ML350 for 6 years and for they were nothing but spectacular! Nice to see the quality of cheaper tires have gotten better

Wow, didn’t even know Atturo has been around for that long! Their customer service is great too. I called them before ordering my tires and they were extremely helpful and friendly. I also like that their home base is in the US.

Nothing special, just chrome staggered quads (3.5in) welded in after I straight piped and removed the exhaust. Great mod for a 50i.

Were the quad tips a certain brand you purchased or did they come from the muffler shop?

Those of you with Eibach/ACS springs, were you able to get alignment within spec still?

It should be do-able for 1" drop.

I took mine in for an alignment and BMW said it was still within spec so they didn’t touch it.

Hey all,
Just about to get the Eibach springs installed on my 2016 to reduce the wheel gap a bit. Do I need to replace the shocks at the same time while I’m in there?

Last thing I want to do is to pay to install the springs just to need to do the shocks a year later, better to do it all at once if necessary!
