BTW... The tire sizes worked out GREAT. 205/50R17s keep me pretty close to stock height on the rear (helps keep highway RPMs reasonable), and the front tires are only 20mm shorter. Only noticeable if you are looking for it, but makes a different in clearance up front.
Good thing I made a new friend who is a tech at a BMW dealership... These sizes are common on BMWs and Mini Coopers... So I have a pretty decent supply of 'almost' new take-offs.
