I assume you payed 25% tax (moms) on the total cost of the wheel and shipping? At least that's how it's here in Norway.

285 isn't a tire size and, yes, it's clear you don't know what outer diameter is. Besides, tire size means nothing....it's all about the specs page.

Interesting, no customs here on carparts/wheels/tires here's "only" the 25% tax.
But then again we pay a lot of tax and customs on the car itself.

Yeah, I feel sorry for you that you have to pay all them taxes on the car. Finland, Norway and Denmark have them. Only Sweden is a "safezone" these days! |

fitting bigger rubber is about going over the specs for each tire. choosing fitment by tire size means nothing. you have to look at the details....not all 285's are the same....there can be variations of an inch or more of tread width. some tires have a very square profile where tread width is almost the same as section width, while others are much further apart. Yeah....I pretend. I'm a self-admitted wheel whore who's owned multiple sets of HRE, BBS, Volk, Rays, SSR, Work, Prodrive, etc. I went through no less than a dozen sets on one car. So, clearly, I don't know what I'm talking about. I won't even get into spending 25% of the car's cost on wheels or calling it stupid because that would be rude.

No rubbing whatsoever! The ride is so much better. My car is getting OptiCoated so I'll probably post pics tomorrow or day after! Love the look of the 285's in the rear!!! You'll love it too once you get yours lowered...

I was planning it at first, but Tremolo had some issues (got the wrong parts) and yours looked so low too. Looks nice, but wouldn't be drivable with all the speed bumbs around here. But it's either KW or Bilsteins. Thanks! They are 20x9 fronts and 20x10.5 rears. |

I never really liked KW. Had Bilstein PSS10 on my A4 '09 and it was the best I had driven with. Drove a friends same A4 with the KW and was not to my liking. Also you have to get the wheels off and so to change damper setting?
Bilstein is easy and a quick fix, get down and turn the knob. Slightly higher price but worth is nonetheless! Doesn't goes as low as well, decent lowering to me but that is arguable Curious to see this one lowered on the H&R springs! |

BTW, I haven't done the alignment yet. So it's gonna be even more lower after the alignment.

I was asked by my dealer to come back after 500 kms to get an alignment done...which will lower my car further.

Alignments do NOT alter the ride heigh in 99% of passenger vehicles. (your 3 series is in this 99%) Note - I used to do that for a living to put myself through college.
