did u fit in the front spacers?

it shouldn't of rubbed if the spacers were not fitted...a friend of mine just installed them last week, same situation as yours (it's a used set of hartge classic 2 rims from an m5 with the same tyre size and setup) except that my friend installed kw v2's... no rubbing issues...
The tyre edges were jammed against the strut without the spacers, and just touched with the spacers on. However, with the spacers on, the wheels stood proud of the arches and looked awful. I have ordered the correct tyre sizes all round after stumbling across a listing in ebay - so i'm sorted to Hartge specifications now!

I love my 166's, but when I get my new 535d, I think this could be the wheel for me!

That reg plate looks awfully familiar

Do your motors spend much time parked up at Gatwick or Heathrow long term carpark??
If not, maybe I've seen you out on the road, but looks familiar anyway.

Nice job though. Enjoy!

You may have spotted it at Gatwick actually! I'm regularly there, but recently discovered Parking Plus - which means i don't have to drag a suitcase through the rain trying to find my car that i left in Car Park C Row 16, or was it 22, or 24.. or.. oh bugger i forgot. Let's walk around some more, wishing i'd written it down.

Recently it's been on an X5 with 22's, a Silver Porsche 996 Cabrio and a Black Merc E55 AMG - but it's on the 535d to stay for a couple of years now as i've found a car that does everything i want and more.

No real deterioration in ride quality, but the tyre hum increased noticably. I just turned up the stereo and it miraculously disappeared..

I'm really pleased with the wheels, and the car gets more looks than all the other three previous cars combined!
