[QUOTE="KL2DC, post: 158337, member: 3452"] Glad you agreed the 159s look better, though I was the only one in this crowd :D Well the advantage with the 159 wheel setup on 255/50/17s all round is that its easier for you to rotate your tires (I know BMW does not recommend rotation but I think this is a BS rule) as they are all the same size. And I believe the tire size is easier to find just incase you experience an RFT failure. Also, staggered setup actually induces a touch of understeer. What would improve the looks is a slight drop (recommend retrofitting OEM sport spring for a 0.6-0.8 inch drop or H&R Sport springs for a 1.2-1.4 inch drop) and maybe rear spacers round back (12mm-15mm, make sure you have the proper extended wheel bolts to go with them).
