Staggered style 68s (17" x 7.5" with 225s in the front, 17" x 8.5" with 245s in the rear), Bavauto springs, Bilstein sport shocks/struts. Plan is to have these powdercoated in black and used for winter wheels. Thinking of 18s for summer, but we'll see how it goes with 17s (already noticed a big difference when hitting bumps and ridges in the road). Main purpose was also getting rims that would clear the M brakes I have to install.

BBS style 5's off my Touring...




235/45/17 tires with a very mild roll on the rear fenders... No real rubbing on the back. Fronts, well... If I wanted more flush, I would get 225's... My daily set of style 5's are running 215/40/17's with no rub issues at all.

It is an embarrassment of riches, I suppose... Don't forget, I still have a set of DS1's, too...

There was no need to do fender role.
But, there was slight rubbering on the inner arches front & rear under load.

I used 5mm spacers, but now i own LTW staggered style 24.
