2016 550i xdrive with m343 tire issue

Hey guys,

I have a 2016 bmw 550i xdrive awd with stock suspension that i put the following m5 343m rims and tire sizes on:

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 245/35/20 with 20x8.5 wheels for front
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 285/30/20 with 20x10 wheels for rear

I believe these are the stock dimensions but the issue I am running into is that there is a big wheel gap, very noticeable in the front. See pictures

I was wondering if I could use the following tires without an issue:

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 245/40/20 with 20x8.5 wheels for front
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 285/35/20 with 20x10 wheels for rear

They are still <1% (0.7%) difference in diameter from each other. Tire rack sells them and surprisingly they are even cheaper than the tires i have on now.

And no I don't want to get lowering springs because I have the F10 dynamic handling packaging and i dont want to mess up the suspension or change it.


1. I was wondering if anyone ran the 245/40/20 & 285/35/20 on their F10 550 and if it had any rubbing issues or drivetrain issues?

2. Will this fix the tire wheel well gap that is there now
