Didn't realize you were also a BMW guy, nice M3. I traded my 96 328 in on my C6. I kinda hated to see "The Other Woman" go but once I got the C6, I have never looked back.

Wheels - Maya EX2 Chrome: front: 8.5" x 19", rear: 10" x 20"
Tires - Pirelli PZero Rosso Asimmetrico: front: 245/35ZR19, rear: 285/30ZR20
After changing wheels and tires I have experienced no rubbing and the ride quality is excellent.
I retained the tire pressure sensors and have no problems.
My brakes use to squeak constantly, since switching to the Baer rotors I haven't heard one squeak.

I have seen these tires last no longer then 5k miles on a Porsche (Granted its rear heavy) i suspect unless you really drive leisurely then you wont get any more then 10k out of the rears.
