The graphite EC-7s came with my Jerezschwartz (acquired in December). 19x9F, 19X10R. 275/30F and 295/30R don't buldge on these rims or rub with stock non-EDC suspension. I'm not feeling a need to lower the car at this time.

Wheels: Satin Black Arc-8 18x10 ET25 squared
Tires: Toyo R888R 275/35/18
Spacers: 5mm up front (to clear wheel/tire from hitting strut)
Suspension: BC Racing DR series coilovers

I had major rubbing issues when I hit a bump on the freeway. 275/35 r888r is too tall for the setup and my height settings. Had to raise the front a little and added -3.0 camber up front and -2.7 rear. Rear rubs just a hair when I have people in the back and I hit a bump really hard. I'm sure if I raise it 1/8 it wouldn't rub but I rarely have people in the back or things in the trunk. I'm thinking 275/30's won't rub but I haven't done my research yet. Waiting for these tires to go first. Overall happy with the looks of the Arc-8!

A lot more pictures on my instagram: dre.m3

What's the advantage of running 17s. I realize there should be a big weight difference even more so if your OEMs were the 19s. Any other advantage?h

We are still hoping to get more pictures of our FL-5's on the E9X M3 chassis, but here are a few pictures from one of our customers:

Thank you for your inquiry! We have replaced our carbon fiber caps with gloss black caps. Unfortunately, we no longer have any carbon caps in stock.
