Maybe you got a different answer when you talked to them directly, but I don't see how the 17x8.5 ET40 Arc-8 would be worse than the BBS RGR 17x8 ET40 with 235's. I've always read Eddy's note as being anything beyond 235 square is a problem for *any* wheel on the 1 series (non-M) for an easy bolt-on setup because there is no offset that accommodates both front and rear for a greater tire width. I could be wrong though. It's happened before.  |

Andrew,
These are the only photos of 17" ARC-8s on a 1-series that we have:

These are 17x8.5" ET40, and not an ideal fitment for the 1-series. This is a race car so they do not deal with the nuances of rubbing on the streets.
Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

I'm not bothered either way. At the end of the day I got a lighter and significantly stronger(strongest option for our cars) wheel.
