I love this on your car. I had the flat-faced 8.5" ARC-8 on my E92 and always wanted the concavity. I sold the car before they came out with this fitment.
That is a wide tire on the front. Is there plenty of clearance in front? |

Plenty of clearance....no, definitely not. More like just enough. There is maybe 1mm-2mm between the tire and the strut body and it has additional negative camber dialed in. The tires are also wide for their size, so it is truly as big as I could possibly fit. 245/40/17 Pilot Super Sports would be an easier, more worry-free fit, but I the outer diameter is a touch smaller as well, which I didnt want.

Great! I'm thinking about getting squared 18x9 ET31 (255 tires) for my E90 LCI, it's on zsp suspension now but eventually I want it lowered on H&R Sports. How does the driving dynamic feel overall going square?

Is the finish Anthracite or Hyper Black? Looks great either way, though wish the lighting would be better so we could see the tire/wheel/well better.

I'm really loving the look, and they're so lightweight.. you must be saving 10 pounds per corner if not more. I honestly don't think 17s look too small on the e90 LCI either, my winter setup is 17 and I barely notice the difference in diameter.

Thanks. If I remember, it is more than 10 lbs saved per corner. These are 16.5 lbs a piece, with a 24lb tire, for a total of 40.5 lbs each. It will be interesting to throw the winter setup back on in a few weeks. That is style 195 18" sport package wheels with 225's all around.

Wow that looks nice, looking to change up my wheels soon, and this will be what I do. The wheels are more than 15lbs less than what I have now!
