It's either your imagination or an optical illusion. Look at his tires sizes. The new ones are within 1/4" OD of the old ones. That puts the surface of the tires 1/8" closer to the wheel opening.

When you change the rim diameter you change the section height of the tire to keep it within specs.
Now one can certainly eff with the appropriate overall diameter, but generally it's a constant.

That isn't where "wheel gap" is addressed.
i know all that, the overall diameter of the 285/30/20 is a little bigger and closer to stock than my 275/35/19 so it looks a lot closer but its only .157 of an inch bigger in diameter than the 19
Love the wheels! The S5:Fs are quite probably my favorite wheels on the Z. All you really need is a Stillen front lip and your car will be how I want mines to look haha. Really looks good though
