Wheels, tires, and supsension set-up (Advice needed)
Looking for feedback on the wheel/tire package I've narrowed down to and the springs I'd like to use. After a ton of research and trying to piece together various sources from cars similar to mine, plus using an offset calculator I've narrowed it to the following:
Car: 2017 340i Xdrive with Track Handling Package (EDC) Goals: OEM+ appearance (slight drop, mainly up front), better handling, stock-ish supsension feel Wheels: Front 19x8.5 et 35-38, Rear 19x9.5 et 38-42 (need help on offset too) Tires: Front 245/40/19, Rear 265/35/19 (can I go 275s in the rear with the proper offset?) Springs: F80 M3 ZCP Springs (possibly fronts only, however I'm looking for advice if this is a bad idea to do front springs only). Any help is appreciated. Looking for feedback, but take it easy on me as I am not an expert and only have a basic grasp of suspension geometry, if that.

What are the two letters on the barcode stickers on your OE springs? You might be able to see them without having to jack the car up.

I'm able to look in my database of springs, do ride height calculations, frequency calculations, and give the PNs needed but typically charge a small consulting fee. If you don't know what you really want with those, then I walk you through figuring that out too. If that's something you're interested in pursuing, shoot me a PM.
