Smile M5 staggered 20"s on beefy looking Pirelli tires... need opinions.

Hello all, new member here on my first post.
So i went ahead and upgraded my 19s into M5 20s.

20x8.5 Front
20x9.5 Rear

I need your opinion on these wheels. I decided to with oem tire size so went ahead and bought some Pirelli tires Pzero.

265/35/20 Front
295/30/20 Rear

But the ride height is really tall and i feel like the rear tires stick out too much, im afraid that if i lower it the tire might rub.
Do all Pirelli tires have this beeffy wall or jst this size? I honestly dont like how the wheels sit on these tires and im having second doubts of keeping them 20s. But before i consider jst sticking with my 19s i want to try a different tire size

245/35/20 Front
275/30/20 Rear

Any feedback will be highly helpful and appreciated.
Thank you.

I will be uploading photos shortly.***

The M5 tire sizes (265/295) are 2% taller than OEM 20" (245/275) tires for F10.

Furthermore your wheels are too narrow for M5 tire sizes which will give a very bulgy tire profile.

265/35-20 has 9.5" as recommended wheel width and 9" as miniumum
295/30-20 has 10.5" as recommended wheel width and 10" as miniumum

You have a few options of tire sizes that still are within spec for your wheels:
245/35-20 front, 275/30-20 rear (OEM F10 sizes)
245/35-20 front, 285/30-20 rear (perfectly matched diameters if your car was xDrive)
255/35-20 front, 285/30-20 rear (10mm narrower tires compared to M5 spec)
255/35-20 front, 275/35-20 rear (255/275 staggered setup as M3/M4 use)
