Those fit with no issues at all. I've driven with them on my car before.

GILL do you have any picture when they were on your car. also the lip of the 18x9's is bigger than the 8's right

Yes, the lip is bigger on the rear. Here are are a few photos with a 225/40 on the front and a 255/35 on the rear. The wheel is the AR2, not the AR1 but the specs are all the same, just a different finish.

adrean8j · 08-05-2008, 05:38 PM

Gill do you have a profile view?

Gary@TireRack · 08-05-2008, 05:42 PM

Sure

ulrichd · 08-05-2008, 05:50 PM

They look too small. BMW did a nice job on the OEM wheel for the 135 with the spokes going all the way to the edge of the rim. Any wheel with a lip is going to look smaller than the standard wheel because the spokes look shorter.

Do you have another picture were you can clearly see the difference in the sizes of the lips on the wheels?

No, but I can tell you the difference. The front lip is 2" and the rear lip is 2.5"

Hope this helps.

you think there would be any problems fitting the 18x9's on the front? thinking about doing all 4 wheels with that size for convenience.

M3Newbie88 · 10-28-2008, 07:34 PM

As my pm to you before Gil I wish they had these in 19's because of the DD it looks smaller.. blah...

Garduna · 10-28-2008, 07:49 PM

Hope you don't mind me piggybacking on ur thread fmxomar :wink:

I'm looking into picking up some asa ar1 blacks but it seems that a lot of ppl find that the asa ar1 has small spokes due to the fact that it's got Mach Lip?

Hey Gil, before you switched to your new Breyton GT-SRs, were you using those ar1s?
