[blunttech]

i need tires. car has a 5 lug swap on high arches running 3 degrees up front and 2.5 our rear on j stocks. im thinking 225/45/16's... any opinions??

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.

I've got 16x8 et23 wheels. Running 225/45 BFG KDWII's and no rubbing.

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.

195s will give you that nice EUro look.

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.

Blunt: Just so you know how good the E38 weaves can look:
