The wait is agonizing

I have 235/265s installed and do not see any issue if I were to go 245/275 other than the wheel diameter screwing up my speedo and effective final drive ratio (slower acceleration).

I'm running 245/265 both 35 series (GY F1 Asy). My car is lowered quite a bit too with no rubbing issues. I went with the wider tire up front to help quell understeer (up sized 2 rather than 1 like the rear). These tires have so much grip, I'm not sure you'll need 275 rears. The coil-over adjustment ring is a bit close in the front and I thought I'd have to run a 3mm spacer, but it wasn't needed.
A 245/40 in front might have been too tall for my car though.

All - if you think you have a long wait - I was one of the first in the country to get these wheels. I waited 4 months!

That is with ET38 front offset, isn't it?

I don't think they are really expensive. I just don't like the design but flowformed wheels are a great alternative to forged.

18 or 19?

I'd say between 2250-2650 depending on size.

I just got my Advan RS wheels. They are 18x8.5 ET32 x 4pcs for a square setup. Tyres are 235/40/18 Michelin Pilot Preceda PP2 (I don't think you can get these in the US). Suspension is standard ZSP which I am very happy with. I am not going to lower it because I need the clearance.

Niiice! I keep questioning whether I should have gotten a square setup for my Advans. I have 235/265 and the understeer annoys me when I autocross and track the car. I have a square setup on my e36 and the understeer issue is just not as bad as in the e90.

HeelToe, I made the decision to go square because I felt that a car with 218ps didn't need anything more than a 235 on the rear. I haven't driven hard enough on the original run-flats to experience understeer. These ride a bit better than the run-flats even though I have 40psi in them.
