    What wheels are they? The e38 weaves are the same dimensions. I'd talk to e9nine or surebimmer.

      225/45-16 would be the appropriate size, but you may need a tiny 3mm spacer to fit w/o strut rubbing

        ^ What he said, although I'm not so sure you'd need the tiny spacer badly enough.

            On my E30 M3 I run those wheels. With new brake pads, you do get a little rubbing on the antirattle clip without a spacer.

              Yea, the weave spacing is pretty tight next to the brakes.

                  yes e38 weaves. i snatched a brand new set really cheap. guy had 3 sets. these have like zero miles on them. he swapped them for double spokes when he bought the car new. i will run street tires on them because ive been running r compounds on the street for 2 summers. thanks guys.
