nice car!
both wheels look great on your car.
what tire size did you run when you had the turbines?
i just picked up myself a set of staggered 17x8 and 17x9 m-system and cant decide the size.

I have the same wheels to install in the spring and I believe im going for 225/45 front and 235/40 rear.

225x45 and 235x40 ? are you sure they won't rub especially on the rear?
are you going to add spacer? what kind of suspension are you running?
sorry for asking too many questions.

OP, not trying to thread jack, I hope you don't mind :)

E30M3 suspension. I'm going to roll the rear arches flat. Others have run the same size tire and larger. I'm hoping for the best.

Those had really wide 205/40's on them and I had severe rubbing issues. Z3 6 cyl arms put the rear wheels at et 0. If I had some skinnier tread tires (ie not federal brand,) I probably wouldn't have had an issue.

I plan on running probably DZ101s with 205/40 (or maybe 35) with these wheels, since the car will be going a little lower all around.
