I'm now close to what you're looking for.

I just put my snow tires on my R56 MCS. 205/55R16. No pictures yet though, sorry... I'll have some soon though.

No rubbing issues on a completely stock car with 16x7 Borbet Type LS +38 offset. They do look like the "poke" out a little more than stock, and they do fill out the wheel well a bit more. With monster chunky studded snow tires, it looks pretty mean.

Cool....I look forward to pics. I just spent the day at the track with an r56 owner who looked like he was running 205/45/16 hoosiers....small, but they didnt look "too" small for the bigger arches on the r56.
