I went with H&R DRA 25mm spacers in the rear, the wheels are 19s (9" & 10"), with 10mm more outward offset then the OE BMW 19s.

So the fronts are shifted 10mm, rears are 35mm.

I run the OE sizes, 255-50 & 285-45.

The pic is from 2 years ago, I have Vredestein Ultrac Vortis on it now.

TiagX5,

thank you..... that gives me a great idea of what to expect....

I'm at 255-50-19's in the front

275-45-19's in the Rear

So mine would look pretty close to yours.

The 285 Vreds have a contact patch width of over 9.5" @ 50 worn (way wider then the 285 Hankook Ventus).

The difference is huge!

I like that picture...... do you have a shot of the Vreds more from the back instead of the side angle like the one you posted?

AHHHH! those Vorti's look mighty fine. My X is currently at the body shop getting all of the nicks and dings taken care of. When it returns I will send the rims off for reconditioning and then install a set of Vortis.
