Option 3. Get a hubcentric wheel spacer. There is no minimum thickness when your going to a larger center bore.

option 2 so you can reuse the spacer on a next set of wheels that may not be 74.1.

+1 (definitely)

What do you guys think?

OPTION 1
72.5 to 74.1 hub centric ring
Then a 5mm @ 74.1 spacer on top?

or

OPTION 2
5mm @ 72.5 spacer
Then 72.5 to 74.1 hub centric ring on top?

Yah I have a feeling that when I refinish them, the bolts might even stick out more.

Hopefully grinding + 5mm will clear it.

I just got my style 5's and I bolted them up quickly for a test fit and they don't clear my brakes!

I have a 2001 330ci and the bolts on the inside of the rim seem to be rubbing against the caliper when I spin the wheel.

My plan is to grind/sand down the caliper slightly and then stick a 5mm spacer in addition to the hub centric ring.

Anyone else experience this issue?
