You are correct. The external part of the OEM tips (somewhat rectangular in shape and bends down) is about 2.75 inches. However, after you cut away that portion, the tips are only about 2.25 inches...thus, the Ractive tips fit over the cut-off stock tips perfectly.

Ewen,
You asking me? If you are, the wheels are the spoke 87 replica's. They are staggered so the front is 9.5 in the front and 10.5 in the back. I'd like to lower my about an inch or two but I don't want to mess up the suspension. BMW sets everything in the suspension at a certain height. I'm wondering if altering it would have negative effects down the road. (get it, down the road) ha. I think it will be alright however. All I need to do is purchase springs for the front and then have BMW lower the air suspension in the back. Thinkin' bout it. Any idea's anyone??

yes thanks, i love the look , i have 19 x 9 fronts and 19 x 10 rears and they don't quite do it for me, i'm struggling between lowering it or going to slightly bigger wheels, and then lowering it.

again i think yours looks sweet
