What do you guys think? 215/35 or 225/35 in the front? I'm about a cigarette pack off the ground. Will I rub like crazy? 235/35 in the back which I think is okay. Some people in this thread says no fender mods and some mod their fenders. I'm guessing being that low I will need to do minor fender work?

Are you running them redrilled or with adapters? And if you are using adapters, how big are they? I'm going to be using a 19mm adapter all around and currently have my rear fenders shaved and the fronts rolled.

As far as having them redrilled, I'm not really sure. However the tire specs you are using will be a slight stretch so im guessing you're using adapters? Either way I'll do some fender work if I were you to be in the safe side. Shouldn't cost too much.

I'm 215/35 and 235/35 also. You should look through the whole thread and see what look you like, most likely the work it took to get the look is mentioned. Good luck.

^^^^The Lexus caps will not fit. Take apart the BMW caps and flip the BMW symbol and then glue on some Lexus emblems.

68 or 70mm center caps ? Believe it's 70mm.

I've used Wesden about 5 yrs ago for TT wheel caps for my MK4 but they only do chrome options. Verified with them this week @ ~$20/cap for the 7's.

When I flipped my OEM caps, the backside of the disk had a very noticeable BMW imprint. So I tossed those thin disks as that was unacceptable to me.

I went to Tap Plastics and ordered a transparent disks that matched the diameter of the disks I threw away. I then spray painted the disks, and reinstalled, looks great. You also have to make sure that the thickness of the disks matches the thickness of the originals.
