The AW with the 19's is my car. It's lowered on Eibach springs.

I have a 245 30 Dunlop Sportmaxx at the rear, 225 35 front. Rubs slightly sometimes in dips at high speed, I mostly drive alone in my car. With passengers it rubs more often. If the little edge on the inside of the fender is rolled out at the rear, it doesn't rub at all.

I had a 255 Sportmaxx before, that rubbed a lot more. A 255 Toyo proxes works better than the Dunlop because they have more of a 'stretched look sidewall'

They are good quality I find, but i drove them during the winter and the salt and less washing of the wheels made the varnish on the lip look used. Little stains and scratches were on the wheels (30K miles)
I took off the varnish and polished the wheels myself. They look like new again.

Love the look of the wheels, I’m very happy with them. I do think they look better in 19" than 18" because the smaller the wheel, the shorter the spokes get which makes the center of the wheel look more convex.

Hey Boogie, I thought you had an 120D, if so your exhaust doesn't really look stock, did you change it?
