Tire Stats: Front 255/35/20 and Rear 285/30/20

Car is not drop since my driveway is retarded that will scratch my Lip Spoiler if i drop the car but will do more research and calculation on this in the future since the car will not only look good when dropped but handles better.

Anyway, initial feeling driving on these set feels better than a regular Run Flat, despite the low profile set, i don't feel the bumps as much as the previous set. Both Front and Rear are flush from the fenders, i can probably put a small spacer on both still if i want too but for now i will just leave it as it.

I took a couple of pictures for everyone.

Enjoy....








Any suggestion what Color should i paint my brake Calipers? nothing too flashy. Thanks!
Love the clean factory look. Is your car lowered? Is it a xdrive? I want to put 343s on my car, but I'm still on the fence about lowering it.

I have a 2014 535i X-Drive currently lowered on H&R Sport Springs and have 15mm spacers in the back and 10mm in the front. I was wondering if I go with the set up you have same spec tire sizes and all would it effect my X drive system?
