This car below has the following specs:
- F/R: 17x9" et42 ARC8-R with Bridgestone RE71R's in 255/40/17
- 75mm stud conversion
- 5mm front spacer
- Swift Spec-R springs (250#F, 600#R, 1" drop)
- Vorshlag camber plates
- m-Performance m240i bumpstop
- front inner fender lips rolled
- Dinan Shockware upgrade
- Camber settings: 2.5 deg (F), 1.8 deg (R)

Thanks for your input! I was well aware of this setup as well as very other that lives on the internet thanks to an obsessive amount of browsing. I ended up going with the fairly proven 17x8.5 et40 and 245/40 square setup and couldn't be happier!

What brakes do you have? Any issues with caliper clearance? That's the only thing holding me back from ordering your exact setup.
