Hey, it was great meeting you at the event.

Gary's car blew me away. I think all us M5ers felt that way. He sure goes the distance, doesn't he? So cool.

I got some 19" Breyton Magics for an E39 off ebay. I've ordered H&R 5mm spacers for the fronts, since they're 9" wide but with 20mm offset. 5mm will spacers are very thin but will do the job, bringing my offset down to a manageable 15mm. I'm also getting the hub-centric rings and longer lug nuts, along with the spacers, from Tire Rack.

The rears have no inside clearance problem, but since they're only a 19mm offset, when a 10" wide rear really needs about 28mm like on my RKs, means it's fender roll city - again. I'll really be pushing the limit of rolling this time around. If all goes well, I'll have a harsh riding but wicked looking car. You should see how deep the lips are on the rears! It's just sick.

I'll get some pics if and when this works. If not, I'll have some Breytons back on ebay and possibly my car in the body shop. ;- )

Regards,

Dave
