As discussed, check your wheel offset.
For example when I ran 108 style wheels, I had 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers. Since changing to aftermarket alloys I no longer need spacers for the same stance.
With your 224? Style wheels 15 and 20 would be too much. I don't think owners with your wheels normally space them out any further usually. I may be wrong!
Lovely car by the way!

Thank you a lot for the compliments, I really didn't expect this rate of appreciation! 
My tire specialist just told me, BMW doesn't recommend using spacers of different sizes on the front and the rear axle... They actually recommend using spacers only on the rear axle, because *they say* adding spacers to the front wheels would change the behaviour of the whole car (for the worse). Are they on to something or is this just a "OEM load-of-c**p" thing?
RickRob, I have to admit I prefer the longer original aerial as well... But I exchanged mine with the one on my mother's Mini's and it was all cracked up at the base... The BMW garage had a new stubby lying around, so that was it!
PS: I drive veeeery veeeery slowly.
