Yes, I understand. If you want cooler looks, a significant visual improvement of stance and width of car would be to add 10mm spacers. I did on my M135i Xdrive F40 which is basically the same car chassis wise as the F44. Unfortunately these cars do look 'skinny' at the wheels, especially the front. A wider tyre will make no difference at all visually - It's a wider wheel offset what you need, hence the spacers. I bought H&R magnesium alloy ultra lightweight ones and am very happy with the way they make the car look more muscular, wider, as I've added 20mm width to the wheel track  |
yeah that's a good point about spacers. I run a set on my m240i during the winter when I have the stock wheels on. am I getting greedy if I want wider tires and spacers?! lol
