BMW Style 95 fitment question
Hey everyone. I have a 1996 LS400. I have seen tons of LS and GS with Style 95 BMW rims. I know that most of you have to run a 25mm 5x114.3 - 5x120 adapter, but I am wondering if these wheels will fit over our big brake kit without the adapter?
There is a set close to me that has been professionally re-drilled to 5x114.3
But I don't want to drive an hour to find out they don't clear our BBK. Has anyone here, or does anyone know, if these wheels clear BBK without spacers?
And for the inevitable, just get a 10 or 15 mm spacer and be done with it statement I reply, No. F that. I hate spacers and will never let them near any of my cars again. I couldn't anyways. I had so many problems out of my last set my shop said they refuse to ever touch my car if I ever get another set.

Does his 95 not have the big brakes(BBK) up front like my 96? The 95-97 are the same car so I would assume I have the same brakes he does.
So he has 5x114.3 Style 95s fit WITHOUT spacers on his 95 correct?
Just for clarity, these are what he has correct?

Sorry about that. I meant to type they'll clear the BBK, without spacers. I mean, the actual BMW 7 series probably came with big brakes from the factory to help compensate for the size of the thing lol, so it only makes sense that they'd clear the LS brakes as well. Also, he does have the BMW Style 95 wheels. Only difference is his are chrome, whereas your's seem to be in a standard silver finish.

That picture was just for reference. I have AME Shallen CX at the moment and I'm considering trading them for my buddies Style 95s since they are professionally re-drilled to 5x114.3
And that lip to fender seems like he has spacers, at least in the rear?
EDIT: Nvm just looked at his IG, 30mm spacers. lol.
