Dave...

Here's what they are:



I used to have the pictured set that I bought with the intention of running on the car. The E38 runs them with 235/60, which is too big for the E34.

your friend is correct...you have to be careful of the brand as well as the size tire you purchase. The 23mm offset with an 8" width ... is putting the front tires really close to the front struts.

I have 225/55/16 Michelin Arctic Alpins (dedicatd snow tires) mounted to a set of Style 5s and I'm cutting it real close...but no rubbing. Lowell is correct, the 235/60/16 tires that came originally mounted (to the e38) are too wide...you will have to go with a 225/55/16 or a 215/55/16 or what ever 205 tires that is comparable. When choosing tires for these wheels...try to get their actual width measurement from the Tire manufacturer (their web site will probably do or maybe www.tirerack.com). If you want to go with 225/55/16 tires...choose a brand that doesn't have the widest width measurement. I know this sound off...but not all 225 width tires have the same width.

Good luck, and congrats on getting hitched.

(it's a Touring, but you can get the concept of how the Style 5s look on an e34)
