Got the wheels installed on Thursday and washed her up today. Im pretty happy with the results!
My only regret is getting the 255 wide tires. Frankly, 245's would have been better as the BFG Comp 2 A/S have a fairly chunky sidewall/shoulder design. They're only 5mm wider per side but the extra width is visible. Also, a word to the wise if anyone else wants to try this..... You absolutely need 5mm wheel spacers minimum to fit around the Brembos. I had the shop first try and install these without the spacers and sure enough, they didn't fit. Luckily, I bought the set JackGS referred me to from US wheel adapters which fit like a glove. There is about 2mm gap between the wheel and the caliper with the spacer in place.
I bought a full set of 4 - 5mm spacers but I'm only running them on the 2 fronts in these pictures. The shop installed them on all 4 wheels and frankly the rear wheels stuck out too far with the 255's so I took em off the rears. It just didn't look right to me. The extra width in the front looks surprisingly good though.
I did a bunch of online research and I can't find any reports of trouble from running a small 5mm spacer on only the fronts. If anyone knows of problems (AWD?), please let me know before its too late!
