They are the standard size for the M550 with 19s - 245/40-19 front and 275/35-19 rear. I had considered going with 255/40 front and 285/35 rear to go a little wider, but decided to stick with the standard widths. I'm really happy with the way they look and the way the car rides and drives with them. Thanks.

Nice! Mine has Tanzanite Blue as well, just with the Mocha Nappa and the Fineline Ridge wood trim.

Beautiful car!!! What size rims and tires are those? I'm looking at upgrading my wheels from '19s squared to '20s staggered but torn between practicality and looks.

Rhodonite Silver Metallic Individual - thanks!

Looking at this picture I'm thinking I may like these wheels better if black 🧐

Powder coat gun metal would be a better choice with that color IMO.

no spacers - the outfit I purchased from spec'd the offset at et25 front, et35 rear - the rear rubber (285) is protruding a bit too much imo, may be looking at some suspension options to refine things or I may get used to this - tbd

ah decisions decisions - you may notice I still need to swap bumper trim - have them but man they are not as easy as the kidneys and air duct trim - mirrors may need to be wrapped black to tie it all together
