REALLLLLY curious to see these on a 1 series. I was actually getting really close to getting a set of ARC-8s, now i will be waiting to see these on cars first.
18x9.5" ET43 is a is 15mm more aggressive than the proper fitment for the car. It is guaranteed to require fender rolling and will rub even with stretched tires. We do not test or recommend these fitments as they are a compromise in proper fitment and function in trade for slightly more concavity.

That setup can be bolted to the car, but I would argue that a stock ride height car plus stretched tires on wheels that stick out of the fenders does not look nearly as good as a wide wheel/tire combo that fits cleanly under the fender.
