More information please. Is the light always on? What size are the tires? What do you mean that you built it?

The only thing that changed is the wheels and tires?

It sounds like the sensor may be disconnected. Post in the E36 forum and you'll get several possible solutions. Make sure that your initial post is clear with all pertinent information.

Incorrect wheel/tire size can set DSC faults. This is the wrong section though...

Try General Mechanical Help, or the E36 section. You could PM a moderator and ask them to move this thread, or you could start a new one.

As for your problem, try swapping the factory wheels/tires on the car and see if the lights go away. A larger diameter wheel and tire can set faults, as can mismatched tire sizes.
