The E65 Star Spoke style 95 front wheels are 9", et24 offset. They fit fine, and I suspect that 9.5" would not be a problem with 255mm tires. Of course, the aspect ratio depends on what diameter you are using. 19" is tricky, there is no correct 255mm aspect ratio. A 255/35-20 is probably right for a 20" rim.

This pic gives you a side-shot of how far the front rim sticks out. Another .25" out should not be a problem:

Actually, these calipers are not chromed. They are aluminum brought to a high polish. The look is the same, just technically different.

The calipers in the pic are an optional finish on our new Ultimate Big Brake Kit, public release next week... and yes, we have front 14" and rear 13" fitments for the E38. You must use the entire front kit, as the setup is designed for the larger 14" rotor.

We are going to be releasing specifications and exact pricing later this week, but I can tell you that pricing is <i>approximately</i> as follows:

front 4-piston 355mm (14"): $2200

rear 4-piston 328mm (12.9"): $1650

Your choice of red, black, or polished finish.

All kits include calipers, rotors, brackets, stainless steel brake lines, Hawk HP+ pads. Everything you need except the car and tools! E38 applications require minimum 17" wheels.

If you have 17" wheels, you should get a "got brakes?" sticker: :D
