I love these wheels so much... I actually just put my ZCPs up for sale because I want to pick up a set of these. I am just hoping it is possible to run the 9.5 inch front wheel so I can get the concave rim face in the front also.

^ I'm the same, a little front concave would be nice.

I was doing some measuring last night and playing arund with different wheels on the front and I think it might be possible with the right offset. With my GC coilovers I have around 10.5 inches from the spring perch to the fernder lip. This leads me to believe that it is possible. I currently run the oem front with my R888s with a 15mm spacer and I have tons room between the wheel lip and spring perch. I will it soon to see just how much room there is.

I've already ordered a set of these in 18x9.5 fronts and 18x10 rears for my car.
2 of my friends both run 18x9.5 +35 fronts with 255/35/18 tires without any problems. One is on stock suspension, and the other on KW clubsports. They may rub slightly on the fender liner, but I can deal with that. |

I got in on the group buy, which is supposed to be here by the middle of the month. I'm just hopeful that I'll get it before the end of June.
Once I get them, I'll definitely post up some pictures. My guess is that your 255/35/18's are just a bit shorter than the 245/40's. |

It would be nice to see the front wheel face profile. Is there any dish to it at all?

Here's some pics with 9.5 fronts, 10 rear
I'm not sure that I like the same concave up front & the back In a perfect world the fronts should have slightly less IMO.

Will the staggered set up fit on a non-m? I'm just doing research now and I was leaning to forgestars since they are made to order (and about the same price), but the seem weak and I don't want a bent rim.

Do not go with the forgestars, I had problems with mine cracking and bending because they were so weak. These are a much better option.

I don't think anything can touch ARC-8s right now for a great looking wheel that's light weight and meets testing/certification for strength.

^doesn't seem like a whole lot of choice out there from the bit of research I've done.
I agree on the concave less on front. In fact I think I prefer flat/flush front comparatively. |

If ordering now I'd definitely go with the flatter front. I also can't decide which colour would look best on white; Hyper-black or anthracite. Anthracite H-B

At last....
Finally found a good profile pic of the 18x9" ET42 This wheel does have a slight dish to it. IMO it's perfect for the front.

Sorry I don't know the non-M specs.
Maybe someone else can chime in. IIRC someone has installed the OE M wheels on a non-M, that may give you some idea of what is possible Apex compete specs are listed on their site. http://www.apexraceparts.com/Z3-Z4-Series_c_41.html

Tough one on the finish. The anthracite looks a little more aggressive but the HB stands out more and looks a touch more classy. My choice is HB. |

^ my thoughts as well on classy vs sporty.
Oh well... lots of time to think about it. Not in the budget at the moment.
