Drop with 668 wheels--M550i question

Am going to do lowering springs next week on the M550 and have a question regarding the OEM wheels.

With a 3/4" drop on the front and rear, does anything need to be done with 668 wheels to make sure it doesn't look funny and tucked too far into the wheel well?

I'm all of a sudden worried that with the drop, the tires will look funny and further back than they do with larger gap that the car comes with stock.

Thoughts?

I would do spacer.
I have confirmed that 15 front and 20 rear will do the job.
Let me know if you want to get them, I have them in stock.

You've tested them on the 668 wheel?

No, but it is the same offset and width as my 664M.
