I have 20 inch M5 OEM rims and want to reduce the wheel gap

I want to install these: https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3...g-set/?pdk=AQI
I can't give you a definitive answer, but a related one. I installed the ACS springs onto my xDrive, and it has both the DHP and the ARS. The ride seemed to get just a little bit more sensitive to bumps, but I got used to it almost immediately. The other aspects of driving quality, including cornering, weight transfer, nose diving, etc, all improved. If the Dinan springs are progressive (like the ACS) then it even means that you can still load up the car with as much weight as you like, and it won't go too low. I cannot see any down side with changing the springs to the Dinan. If I remember correctly, they don't lower the car as much as the ACS ones.
