i'm planning on going to 225/45/16 for a meaty motorsports look. the stretched tire thing doesnt work for my tastes.

Not sure which kit that is. If yer talkin' about an R55-57 JCW Brembo's, I've yet to see any 16 fit over the front brakes, just 17's.

I just ordered these for my mini. I'm getting 4mm and 5mm spacers with the wheels as well. Hope the spacers will make the wheels work with the brembo's.

I can't decide between 16s or 17s. Anyone have any pics of an r56 running 16s with a nice drop? I've been searching nam for hours but i can't find one!!

It looks good. Quick question, per your picture, I think only front fog lamps are turned on how did you make it? or am I missing a basic concept?
