Youre talking about having integral active steering right?

Hi,

Find below pictures of my M550 (with active steering).

Wheels are AEZ Panama 8.5x20 ET25 front and 10.5x20 ET40 rear. No spacers and car not lowered.
Tires are 255/35 front and 295/30 rear (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S).

Rear offset is a bit agressive as you can see. I think I would have preferred 10x20 ET40.

I went to the local Swiss authorities to get them "approved" for my car. They performed static and dynamic tests to verify the clearance and that nothing rubs. They also check the accuracy of the odometer. All is ok. My car is now "Swiss legal" :-)

I hope it helps.

Well done.It seems that M550 at stock height, with appropriate offset (either with non original wheels or spacers) looks great.

Update: with 200kg in the trunk and my son (80kg) at the back:



Not rubbing even on big bumps. One could therefore consider lowering the car without any issues (and with this setup).
