Talking 335xi m performance edition with m3 19” 437m wheels

I bought these 437m with new contisuper sport from a nardo grey m3 owner for 3000 canadian,a 100% steal. but tires stick out too much for my taste after installation, then I swapped tires with a m2(245 front and 265 rear), now it looks just perfect.
Just ordered a pair of dinan spring and bump stops,planning on installing at bmw dealership next week for 700 canadian, because my local shop gave me a quote for 500 to install these springs, I decided pay extra 200 for dinan warranty, any thoughts and advice?

after swapping tires

before

Since your car is x-drive you must respect 1% difference between front and rear tires. With the current spec ( m2 tires), there's 1.9% difference, you should change tire if you want to avoid any potential problems!

Nice car btw, whats the tint% ?

I'd asked dealer what they think about your tire size when they'll install springs.
You will love this car, any plans to mod it? I have a manual '14 335 m perfomance edition with a jb4, the difference is incredible !!

You definitely want matched diameters. I opted to keep the stock runflats with my 437M wheels, but will be switching to 245/35 and 275/30 MP4S rubber when then run flats are done.

Just purchased 437m myself. 1300.00 planning to put 245/35. 265/35. Is there any rubbing if you put Dinan springs and stoppers. Do you have to have dealer install it? Can it be an authorized dinan dealer? Planning to put the dinan exhaust too. Thanks for any input from you.
