Is the rubbing on the bumper cover/fender tab or the fender/fender liner? You might try dremeling some of the material away on the tab--some people have found this is all they needed, without rolling the front fenders.

It's rubbing on the fender liner on thetop of the arch in the fenderwell. Don't see any rubbing on the fender tabs but I'll try the Dremel cure and let you know... Thanks man...

Ah, I see (said the blind man ;-) the dremel cure probably won't help much then. What size front tires are you running? Probably simpler to increase the height adjustment on the H&R coilovers, 3 inch drop is excessive for our cars.

I'm running 225's on front on 7.5" rims...According to installer, this is the most it can be adjusted in height ...And I saw him do it...Anybody else have any experience with H&R coilovers...

Here's a quick pic of my 135i running the 18" Race GTS-R (bright silver) wheel.

Wheels

Guys, not a bimmer owner, but a fellow German Car owner (VW). I absolutely love these wheels. Does anyone know how I can get them to fit onto a MKV GTI (2007)?

I've even thought about going so far as to have new rotors drilled just so I can get these wheels.

My GTI is
5x112 with 35mm offset (I think on the offset, might be wrong)

Any thoughts, or ideas?

You need a hub adaptor to go from your 5x112 to the BMW 5x120 bolt pattern. Does your GTI use lugbolts or lugnuts?

Here's my BSM car with the black GTS-R rims and Blizzak LM-25s. This is my (admittedly expensive) winter set-up. I stayed staggered, though, so I COULD swap with my stockers for summer if my summer wheel project isn't yet in order. I love the rims. I think the car looks splendidly evil.

Finally, some more pictures of the black GTS-R's!

They do look mean, especially with the black on black theme, but I just can't get past the red stripe. Even with coral, it's a bit too much for me. But hey, that truly is the nicest winter setup I've seen.

Do you have a link to some hub adaptor's with these specs? I've been looking for months and can't seem to find any, maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place.

Sorry, no. You'll need to search, but they are out there. Just don't know if they have that specific adaptor.

Thanks for he help. I actually found some after my last post. But, they're in Europe (and I'm here in the states) so I need to do that whole convert to euro's thing and call to make sure they fit and all.

Thanks for your help.:w00t:

Ok so I THOUGHT I found a site online that sells the hub adaptors, but it seems right now that they don't ship to the US.
