I already had these wheel/tires from my e9x so I thought I'd try them. I did not drive on them as when I mounted them the offset was obviously too low and the wheel stuck out past the fender. I think it had enough clearance on the strut side but not much so I'm not sure how a 33 offset would fit in the front.

I'm likely going to go with a narrower wheel like a 9.5 and a higher offset.
Glad it was a set you had. I was thinking you took a chance with it and pulled the trigger. This still is valuables info for all of us. I have been set on a 18x9.5 set Tire Rack has been offering, you probably saw the thread but I see the benefit of the square setup to rotate tires easily and maximize their track life but I am concerned with other topics were people mention the computers don't like the non staggered setups and I am not ready to run Full DSC off. And also read people like Randy Pobst saying the M2 plays well with the staggered setup and should be kept that way to retaing its driving dynamics.
