You got it! Here are the same wheels on an e90 M3.

Wheels weights for your comparison are below. As you can see, either way you are vastly improving things, as both weights are impressive!

ARC-8 18x10 et25 - 19.95 lbs. each

ARC-8 19x10 et25 - 21.95 lbs. each

No Sir, and absolutely no rubbing unless I have some fat bodies in the back and hit a good bump. LOL

Think of the $ savings of tires as well.

Couldn't be happier with the setup for both street and track!

very nice

Anyone run a 255/35-18 on a 9.5 and 275/35-18 on 10.5?
Better pricing on tires. Not a normal setup from what I see. Most people run 265/285 respectively.
Looking for feedback on a lot of street driving with a few track days to see how well that would handle.

These tire sizes can certainly be used, but they are technically a little stretched for 9.5" and 10.5" wheels. This leaves the lip's of the wheels open for potential damage. The e9X has plenty of room under the fenders, so most owners choose to maximize tire width, resulting in more grip. The tire sizes you mention would be better suited with 18x9 and 18x10 wheels.

You also mentioned that your motivation would be to save money on tires. No doubt that tracking your car can get expensive, and the best way to save money on tires is to run a square fitment. The most common is 18x10et25 with 275/35/18 tires.

A square setup (same size wheel and tire on all four corners) has many benefits. First, it allows you to rotate your tires effectively from front to back, and/or side to side which has a major impact on tire longevity and promoting even tire wear. When running a square fitment, you typically have gained more front wheel/tire width over stock spec’s, and that creates more front end grip, as well as sharper turn-in. Overall a square setup is believed to create a much more balanced car for the corners. These benefits are very attractive for track enthusiasts and racers, but also translate to an everyday street car.

Looks good, I currently have 12mm in the rear with 18x10 and 275/35/18. I am thinking of going up to 15mm as I already own the spacers. Do you rub any? I am lowered on eibach pro kit.

You shouldn't rub with the pro kit. I rub a tad on really deep dips. But I have pretty much rubbed the plastic off the tab. If it's just plastic, I'm not worried about it. Specially on the liner.

Also, depends on the actual tire. My RS3's are taller than my PSS, but the PSS are wider due to the rim protector
