My Ride: 2004 BMW 645 black sapphire metallic, 19" Style 166 (245/40 & 285/35 w 15mm spacers)
Okey, now finally have installed 15 mm rear spacers on both sides and new tire setup: 245/40 front and 285/35 rear. Now it looks great, spacers make a huge difference. And with this setup my rear fenders have only 1-2 mm clearance under full load. I suppose that's the absolute max spacer and tire setup for Style 166. 255 on front would look better but got a very good price for 245 winter tires so I'll try to post some pictures soon.
I'll try to post some pictures soon.

Looks great with 166s I agree they look better, the front grill looks very good I have never liked that chrome eyebrow over the kidney grills . Very classy !

looks good, i disagree on the spacers. So many people call for them, but its a personal preference in appearance. I like the slightly tucked look. so many push the wheels out that it reminds me of those little low riders with the wheels stickin out
