Of course I want to put them on the ti, they would look amazing! But these are Style 5's from an e39. Do you think they will rub a little? See for yourself...

The tires that came with them are 245/45/17's... Um, just a little too big... I knew there wasn't a chance in H.E.Double.Hockeysticks that they would fit, but I threw them on for giggles, kicks, and pics.

However the tires are literally new (still have the little nubs...), so I want to get some use out of them before I buy some stretched rubber and a fender roller...

So, I mounted them on the coupe which still has a factory suspension (no drop);

And, presto, no rubbing! (kinda sorta, if you don't count speed bumps or pot-holes.)
