thumbs up or thumbs down? 135i M Sport 18s on E92

Over the years ive realized i much prefer the look and quality of OEM BMW wheels (short of spending 2 grand plus on a good aftermarket set) But im not 100% convinced i'm liking the new look with these. Picked up some decent condition OEM 135i M Sport wheels, mounted them up, noticed I desperately needed spacers, so i grabbed some Eibach Pro 20MMs for the rear from Bav Auto, and will prob push the front out 15mm when i have the time... thinking i might even be able to get away with 30mm in the rear and 20mm in the front, but for the time being... thumbs up or down?

Did you change the tires to an acceptable/standard size for our cars while you were at it? They look undersized to my eyes, but it might just be a visual trick

The front tires came off my OEM style 189s, the rears were on the set and are 245/35/18 as opposed to the 255/35/18s so yep you're right they are a bit smaller on the rear. That might be what's throwing off the visual for me too but damn, 10mm less width and the slight sidewall height difference shouldn't be that noticeable? Lol at least that was my thought pattern.

Look pretty slick for 18"s in my book.
