Too funny, totally recognized the name from bimmerpost and audizine over the years, and yet again, we have very similar tastes. Car looks great!
At the rate you're recycling some of my favorite wheels, you may just end up shipping a set to western Canada. Keep the photos coming!

If if there is something you need, just let me know.

2014 e63s wagon
Love this shot! I recognize you from Audizine - in fact, I bought a set of winters from you for my SQ5 when you still had your SQ (I'm in Kingston and we met halfway). Now, coincidentally, I am picking up a '14 E63s wagon this coming week. I'll need some winters, so let me know if you have another set you want to part with again LOL!

Awesome camera work. Really enjoy witnessing the wheel evolution your wagon goes through. You ever consider simply going custom wheels instead? Noticed you have been running spacers in a few set of your wheels. Not that a 10mm spacer is big deal, but, by now, I am sure you have figured out what the perfect size is to fit your car without spacers. Or is it that they gotta be BBS?

Only thing about those 19” LM-R front what the high offset pushing the face out. When BBS announced the Special Editions, I decided to make my own custom set. Should be ready in 4-5 weeks, just in time for all the sand and potholes to be cleared here. Fortunately I have a family vacation in that time frame that reduces the wait time.
So so kind of yes to all your questions.

Thanks. I have considered custom. I thought about them last year and planned on using the CI-R as an in between set while I sorted out a custom set but then landed in the 19” LM-R. Since the 10mm spacers on them were BBS PFS rings, I had zero issues.

There doesn't seem to be much room between the caliper and the spokes... can you wedge the tip of your finger in there? I had a bit of a hard time getting a set of wheels cuz CCB's.

Excited. First test shots of new toy. New 70-200 lens. New to check fine tune focus but very excited.
Next week, new front K-MAC top strut kit and new rear metal links, and back to low. Winters may have to stay on for a bit longer based on how spring doesn't want to arrive.

Installed my CI-R last night too. LOVE the Platinum Silver finish and how it changes with the light. Going to get the height dialed in on Thursday.

What do you want to know? They mount to the top of the struts and allow for the entire strut angle to moved in or out. I felt I might need to have the ability to adjust to more negative camber based on the wheel and tire set up I was going with. Currently set to most positive it can go which is about -1.6 degrees. Not sure what the final value will be to ensure no rub, but may also do slight modification on where it may rub (the tab for the bolt connecting the fender and bumper).
Will have more feedback on Thursday when car gets lowered and aligned and drive it to assess any rubbing issues.

Aha, so this is primarily to ensure fitment of larger wheel and tire size, correct? I haven't paid close enough attention to this thread. On my stock wheel & tire setup, was investigating if I need more camber adjustment available to run Auto-X or track days in the wagon.
Those wheels are fantastic.
