Hi guys, im a long time viewer and first time poster. just ordered new wheels for my 8, specs are 18x10 +35 and im dropped about 2-3" on coilovers. I wont get them for about a week but im hoping anyone with the same specs can post pics of theirs so I can see what the firment will look like. cheers
Those are pretty close to the same wheel to fender relationship. I'm going to put 265s pretty soon so that would be roughly equivalent to 275s on the ones you are asking about.
That's 3mm more aggressive than what I have in the rear and I'm running -2 camber with more than 3mm of room to spare. You sure you removed the bumper tab?

going to a 10" wheel means you're adding 6mm more to each side of a 9.5" rim. now with a +25mm offset compared to a +20, you're moving the rim inward 5mm. do the math and to answer your question....
it'll be a 1mm difference...so yes, it's similar.

try rotating your wheels and driving around to see if the rubbing goes away or atleast follows. also check your fender lining or anything else that may be getting caught up or hanging in the wheel wells.

I am going to lower Hoss-05's car a bit more and I will do a shoot for this thread.
My wheel spacers will be in next month, they were on back order. Think I may order a second set for the 09. Still have your old spacers?

I really wanted to go with the works XD9's, but I really don't have enough money for them. I tried to stay away from rep wheels, but in the end, I caved in. I'm gonna get the Varrstoen 2.2.1 (TE reps x.x). I figured I'm not going for performance anymore, so why not? I sense some flame coming my way

Flame suit on!Nothing wrong with reps. I have seen brand names wheels fall apart, flake, etc. and I have seen Rotas that look brand new after years of abuse. We all get what we can afford. I went from Volk GT-F's to BMW reps and I love them.
There was actually a white lexus IS with Pink TE reps in Super Street a couple months back yet the "experts" at super street didn't know they were reps and listed them as Volk TE's.

Thanks d00d 
In general, higher class manufacturers will have high QC than replica companies. I wouldn't say the M111 are BMW reps exactly, though they are popular in that crowd. Varrstoen took a 19" TE face and literally copied it to the tee - in pictures they are *very* difficult to differentiate, even for "experts." In the end though, I do agree - people should feel free to purchase whatever floats their boat 
Munchy - nice ride height!
dlum - You're on the way to a super aggressive fitment
