Nice work Max. Now put 'em back... I need to go to work in the morning. 
And no... the big reds didn't show up here either. Allright, maybe they did. How's this?
Anyway, the specs:
Front: 8 x 18", 55mm offset w/ 225/40ZR18 Potenza S03's
Rear: 10 x 18", 68mm offset w/265/35ZR18 Potenza S03's
Suspension: Bilstein HD/ H&R Spring lowered 1.75" from stock
After first day to work and back, no rubbing noticed anywhere. The guys at Wheel Enhancement came up with the offsets and did say that the Potenza S03's offer a little more "roll" at the edge of the tire to forgive in the rubbing dept. as opposed to some tires that are more "square" at the edges. Love those s03's though for an everyday tire.

interesting old and contentious thread on those so3's and pirelli's ........viken thinks they're worthless tires ... they weren't made for a rear-engined sports car. ok for your bmw 5 series maybe. but im curious why wouldn't have gone with the rs specs of offsets of 52 and 65?

He is the best choice for aftermarket parts...
