1. 343M fits the model perfectly. The front caliper clearance is good. I have read from some of the posts saying that spacers may be required. But at least for this model, there is no need to use any spacer. For 550, you might probably need spacers considering the fact that it has larger calipers than 535. Everything is OE, btw.

Tires are Michelin PSS 245/285. Tire pressures are 36 all around. Just drove back, feels good. Much much more comfortable than those RF tires. Handling and acceleration is improved due to the less weight of forged wheel and non-RF tires.

Yea, that's pretty much about it. Let me know if you need any help!

Thanks for the review. So the 245/285 setup will not impact your xDrive in any way?

No, it won't.

Do you like the fit of the 245 on the 9" wide rim up front? Was it a big stretch? I have the same rims in the river finish and haven't bought my tires yet. Thanks in advance.

245 is fine so far. And most importantly, this is the widest one you can get if you have XDrive because the rotation diameters need to be very close to each other. 245/285 have almost the same diameter, but 255/285 have a lot more difference.

However, for RWD, you can use 255 as front and 285 as rear.
