The EC-7's were produced after the ARC-8's to fulfill the different fitments that people sought after, which is why the 18x9.0" ET31 was made. The ARC-8's do have a similar concave 9" wide wheel, the 17x9.0" ET30 that many e9x non-M pre-LCI owners have purchased for their cars.

Unfortunately we have not seen anyone do this yet, but we would believe that a heavy fender roll or pull would be required especially for performance summer tires (ie. Dunlop Star Specs or Hankook RS3s).
