despite the recent banter about placing a similar set of the rear rims on the front of an '01 m5--and some apparently very pleased m5 message boarders--i remain hesitant to do this and would appreciate some experienced input. none of the bmw dealerships i have spoken to, nor turner motorsports in the providence/boston area have ever heard of doing this, and they caution against suspension torque at higher speeds because of the 5mm offset required in the wheel away from the hub with the required spacer. they also gave me the impression that, even if i did want to do this because of its apparent enhancement of the car's handling and looks, they would not do it for me due to liability issues. can anyone comment definitively on this? it would be greatly appreciated! thanks
