Other than looks... it certainly looks nice... the front especially nice fitment on the 359.

Is there a performance benefit? I guess it increases the front track a bit.

I want more RUBBER on the front of the car - that demands a 9" rim - but I want a 255 or 265 on the front like Dinan has managed to do.

QUESTION: Has anybody tried to put a 255 on the 9" 359 and put that on the front of the car and see if it would fit? I believe you would need the M3 wishbones and camber plates for the added camber to do this.
I have a e90 330i and I think I can put a 255/35 up front without a problem at stock sport height but I like the slight stretch look of the 245/35. 328i and 330i have more room up front since there are no oil coolers like on 335i.

Where were your fronts rubbing when you dropped the car? I'm planning on dropping my car and have 245/35 in front.

Any more pics of your car from the front? I'm loving the M3 front without fogs. Might get that with a carbon fiber lip as my next mod.
