Unfortunately, such tires only come in 18-inch and smaller sizes. I've seen posts on here alluding to being able to use 18s on the 550i GT, but Tire Rack just told me 18s won't clear the calipers. Has anyone actually put 18s on a 550i GT with sport package?

I suspect that information is correct. I have a 550GT with sport package and factory 20s and I purchased a set of 19s with Blizzaks from Tire Rack. Once fitted there was not a whole bunch of clearance between the rim and caliper.
