Picked up a mint pair of m343 20" M5 wheels for 2k!! with 265 front and 295 rear tires, can't wait to get them installed!

So after reading I've ready they will fit with 5 mm spacers up front my concern here is tire diameter. Through thoug my research I've read to keep your tires close to same diameter as possible front to back to get your and system from throughout codes. Will the tires work as they are or do I need different size front or back to make the diameters close as possible?

Also would having different size wheels and tires void my warranty I have? Thanks

If you search at little you will find my notes on the subject. But the bottom line is you need 245/35/20 up front and 285/30/20 in the rear. The roll diameter is off in your current setup. I rode around a week in the original setup and I felt like my Xdrive was about to crap out on me. Tires were kicking and slipping the whole week. So, go buy new tires and enjoy, because these look the best for an OE look.

Can you guys confirm whether a small spacer is needed up front to clear the brakes? Seems like some didn't need to add the spacer. Does it make a difference 535 vs 550?
