Thanks!
I am running Alpina B7 tire sizes in my car. I know they are not necessarily the right size, but I wanted to minimize the chance of wheels damage when hitting a pothole and also maintain better ride quality. With the tire size I have I add about 1/2" to the ride height, but I also cut down the fender gap 1/2". I am very happy with the results and with ACS springs the ride and handling is very good. My tire sizes are as follows.

FRONT 245/35ZR -21
REAR 285/30ZR -21

Here are a few shots of the car with the 21" and the tires listed above.
