I have heard the front's may not clear the front rotors. True?

We only have one wheel that ever cleared the brakes on the M3 in the 16". I don't think BMW had a wheel that did.

Which one Jim?

I have heard the factory 16" Contours woudl fit, but that requires confirmation.

We had a Mille Miglia Spider a few years back that had brake clearance.

I am pretty sure BMW did not have a wheel that worked.

the 16 contours aren't OEM they're replicas. I had some 16" OZ/fittipaldi type 09's that barely cleared, luckily they're a dime a dozen :)
