The wheel size is fine, it's the tire size that needs fixing.

The shop was at local BMW facility in Calabasas CA,

on the Tire issue, I already replaced it with a 205/R16/50 that looks alot better than those 40's..

The Spring drop rate on those Tanabe NF210 is only 1.5 Front and Rear which is not bad for me since this is just a daily driver car for me,

Will update with pics and some JDM parts I havent installed yet that came from Manila. Thanks for posting your opinions and keep em' coming..

205's are still not big enough, bud. Your speedometer is going to be off.
