I forgot to mention i'll be dropped on H&r sport springs.

The rears might actually be 10" instead of 10.5" wide.

With M3 offset fitment you will definitely need to fender roll/flare for those tires to clear. We've had a few guys who have done it.

Thanks guys! How difficult would front fitment be compared to the rear? I know the rear fitment would only require a fender roll at the most, but the front im not too sure about.

I think the fronts are fine, the rears will need to roll fenders.

Also with the Xi application, its not recommended to run widths like that - widths should be as similar as possible (at most maybe 8.5 F 9.5 R) so that the X-drive doesn't get thrown off.

BMW can question your warranty should the x-drive malfunction because of the wheels.

How would the widths malfunction the x-drive? I could see the rolling diameter affecting it especially if there's more then 1% difference between the front and rear, but the width? Care to explain your theory?

they can question it for a set of spacers if they wanted too.
