17 inch wheel on M Sport Brake kit

ET30 actually. Had them on my previous 3 Series and tried them on and they fit. They do poke out a bit, but I'm fine with the look.

Thanks for the pics! I think the et 42 should poke less that's what's was recommended to me by apex wheels.

Yep, the et42 really are what's recommended for this car. I'm too lazy to sell mine and switch, especially if I end up in a different lease in 2 years.

255-40-17 Bridgestone Potenzas square. No rub. Stock suspension and alignment.

Any idea if a 17x8.5 ET40 would fit up front without a spacer? I'm useless with wheel math. Apex says a square set will work but may need small spacer in front, and I don't want to run spacers.

What is your consideration re: spacers?

Just another thing to buy, may need longer bolts for the front, etc. would like to skip if I can.

8.5 width is challenging for the fronts in our cars. 8.0 seems to be the sweet spot.
