21" Wheels on 2018 M550ix

Anyone put this on their car?
Rear: 275/30 R21
Front: 245/35 R21

Worried about rubbing and any potential issues with wheel diameter messing with the x drive

21” is the only way to fly on G30.

Looks awesome - What size tires do you have on there? And no issues with wheels rubbing?

I had the M brakes (made by Brembo) powder coated in McLaren Diablo yellow with black Brembo stencil.

What profile - I just went order some wheels and the guy thinks they will be too tall. Looks like your tires are 295/25 or 295/30?
