I would not call needing to add a 20mm spacer 'fitting'. I am also not sure it would actually clear, especially in the rear.

The cost of quality spacers and extended lugs or preferably a wheel stud conversion kit will more than negate any savings on tires (at least the first time around).

16 inch wheels are pretty inexpensive and so are 16 inch tires. That's the way to go if you're looking to upgrade the brakes to this rear set up and the 300mm front set up. Adding parts and spending money you don't need to to make 15 inch wheels sorta work would not be the path I chose.

Looks like for the purpose of winter tires some e46 guys with a 2004 325i tried 15" wheels and needed spacers for the front but rear didn't have a problem.

According to RealOEM PN: 34216864056

That means we got : 294X19 Vented rear rotors that may fit under 15"


Also that means that PN:/ 34116864058

300X22 Vented front rotors worked with 20mm spacers.

Thoughts?
