I have some 17x9 ET 30 ARC-8s with 255 NT-01s for the M3 that I'm going to put on the 128i just for the hell of it to see how bad it is.
Interesting how you say you would want ET45 up front.

I'm ET40 + a 5mm spacer to clear my front coilover, so I'm effectively running ET35.

I needed to roll front fenders a bit to make sure I don't rub on high compression. But I'm also running quite low, so I needed to roll

I need to find ways to fit 17x9s on the car along with 255 tires
