I saw the alpine car with 10.5's and the rear fenders are mangled. They've been rolled/pulled out a ton and I dont want to go that route. I believe the 9.5's should fit fine stock body, just wondering on tire size/spacers/etc. Brecus sells them for the e39, do I really need to have them re-bored? I didnt think I had to... thanks!
They do not have a square setup. That car has mangled fenders bc he runs a large spacer at his preference. As I said, el cabron and matt both run this setup with no spacer, or fender mods. You must get them rebored.
No problem bro I can get pics when I get home from work as im on my mobile, but search member "el cabron" that is the BEST example.I checked out the AW thread... I'd like to see Matts car if you dont mind sharing some pics/info to help out a fellow M5boarder...
I was just very weary of an uber stretched tire needed ont he 10.5's to clear stock body, I'm curious if they do need stretched or not?
Thanks!
I think matt runs 265 rears iirc. Elcabron above runs 285, huge difference, no rubber band.I saw them on Matts car after some research. Hmnn... I'm going to question them on the 9.5's, the 10.5 rears looks nice but the tire looks a tad bit too "rubber band" for me, we'll have to see. I run a set of 19" OZ ultraleggeras on my S4 and the roads havent been nice to them, and the they run a decently meaty tire compared to most.
Thanks for all the help, I just traded my Alpine e36 m3 I built, 550whp for the m5 and I need more mods! haha
Nice! I recently sold my 98 m3 also. Any pics?I saw them on Matts car after some research. Hmnn...

Correct bore no spacers.elcabrons car looks perfect! no spacers/correct bore too?!
I know he had rolled fenders... ahh I just rolled my s4's with a heatgun and lots of patience only to crack paint badly. I dont want to hurt the M5 in such a way... hmnnnn!
