Outer diameter of the wheel/tire combo stays the same, so the gap will look about the same regardless of size (if you keep the proportion correct to keep your speedo close to true).

To eliminate the gap, you need to lower the car. Going to a 20 or 21 just makes the wheel bigger but the tire diameter stays the same as what mercury mentioned above.

you will have to lower the car to get rid of the gap... check out some of the forum members cars that have 20s lowered on R&D springs...the springs seem to give a good drop (not too low) and the members have nothing but good things to say about them

Yeah, 21s on the F10 is no problem.
Not many tire sizes to go with though, pretty much only 255/30/21 and 295/25/21.

You may want to take a look at an F10 we recently did with some 21" Forged 1 Wheels (click for photos). Their website is www.forged1wheels.com if you want to check out the other styles they offer.
We also carry the 19" MORR Wheels. They cater to the BMW market and offer affordable forged wheels. |
