What is your offset? Are you using spacers?

The offset is 42, I needed 8 mm spacers to clear the thicker coilover strut. However for the stoptechs only, you need 3mm spacers.
I tried 5mm spacers today, close but no rubbing on the strut

Reason: update on spacer size

Borbet LS 16" with 205/55R16 Nokian Hakka 4 studded snow tires:
Looks were close to the bottom of the list of things I was worrying about when I bought these, but they work pretty well, IMHO.

Nice snid, you must get some bad ice to want 4 wheels studded.
I hope my 16s get here in the next day or so. I will post a picture of them on the car when I get them swapped.

Is the R56 rotor any larger than the previous models?

Nice! So they fill them out pretty well? Do you have any direct side shots?
By the way, your car inspired my order. I am doing an almost identical appearance on the outside with the red pinstripes outside of black viper stripes. The interior is going to be a rooster red extravaganza!
Where did you get your red mirror caps? Dealer? I can't find them online anywhere.

that's the best pic I have - they are on Jurrell's car now, so I can't get any better shots over the JCW kit. They definitely didn't look out of place at all, quite the contrary - most local people have said my car looked better with them instead of my new BBS.
