I don't have a pic straight on from the rear, those are on a 10.5" wheel not the standard OEM 11" so it will be a little more stretched on OEMs. I don't have these on my M because they don't come in the 315mm. I would likely follow your lead with the studded Pirelli due the 315mm. I do really like the studs a few weeks ago our hiways all closed do to freezing rain and snow, vehicles were in the ditch everywhere and I had great control with the studded tires. I do notice they are slightly noisy, but the wife gave them the nod of approval she said she dosent notice the noise. They are not destructive at all, I am not sure what you mean by that? To the roads? On my drive way and garage you would never know I ran studded tires and my garage has vinyl flooring and you can't tell.
Here is a picture of today's roads..my DWS did fine on these. But the Nokians are no doubt better.
