front M5 fenders and stock M550 rears ?

hello,
I would like to swap my M550i 2018 frontend to M5 style (OEM bumper and wide fenders).
My question is about track length between left and right wheel in front (M5 has longer track in front) if it affect ride in some bad way?
(rear stay same but front will be wider)

Those measurements are for the center of the wheels / tires. I'd be WAY more concerned with the width of the bumper and how they match the fenders.

You'll probably wanna space out your wheels too.

I am going to do it with OEM M5 parts so bumper will mach fenders without any problem I think.
What about Xdrive on M550i? Will be ok with wider wheel track?
I suppose Xdrive on M5 has different setup than M550i.

guys I know what to do, am going to change parts for OEM M5 so I am not worried about allignment of those parts.
Question is about ride experience I mean problem with Xdrive (because of wider tracks of only front axle, rear stay same).

You will be fine, just get the correct offset wheels for the wider fenders. The rear fenders are the same between m5 and 5 series anyways.
