        I have E38 Style 5's and I am running a BBK with no spacers and 225/45R16 no issues.

        its a 23 offset so fits nice.

              I run 215/45s on my 16x8 E38 Style 5s because I had to run 10mm spacers up front to clear the brakes. If I ran a 225 I’d have to roll the front fenders and didn’t want to.

              You may be able to get away with no spacer if your BBK has a thinner caliper like Staszek’s did.

              The car looks great, BTW!

                  What BBK do you have.

                  The car is built for spirited driving, so I'm always willing to go up on a tire width!

                        The IE 16" Wilwood version, front and rear.

                        Just FYI my wheels are drilled and filled so I dont have to use adapters that push them out.

                        They are the wheels in my sig, I probably could space out the rear a little bit.

                              Love your work.

                              Colour reminds me of my old 74’ 2002Tii. Friends use to call it “jelly bean” [emoji3]

                                Incredible to see the before/after! How do you feel, having come so far?
