you're aware that the ARC-8s don't fit over the M2's front brakes?

As per Apex the wheels fit in the front with spacers.

Sorry to be buzzkill but here is a quote from Ryan at Apex on another thread:

OP did not mention which APEX 18" design he/she tested, so I am thinking they tried an ARC-8 or PS-7 design which does not in fact clear (unless using 19" diameter). The 18" EC-7 design has superior caliper clearance, and is one of the few 18" wheels on the market that will clear the steel M2, M3/M4 brakes

Yeah: it's not the spokes (with which spacers would help), it's the barrel.

ARC-8's barely fit over the 370mm rotors of the F30 M Performance brakes (which use the same calipers as the M2/M3/M4). The 380mm rotors of the M2/M3/M4 make the ARC-8s a no-go.

Wait a second you posted links that show 4 new wheels and tires cost $2,488 but you're asking 2900 used?

Sorry about the confusion but the post was for a set of used wheels and tires in addition to 4 brand new tires. I've separated the items for better clarity.
