The rears with spacers are ok, but could there be any possible way to get the fronts on? How about stretching a 225/35 tyre on the front with max camber?

Beedub - how do these ET figures compare to the cromodoro m3 wheels you had?
Front tyre in pic isn't stretched & the wheel face sits "plumb" or vertical so doesn't appear that camber has been massively adjusted
Maybe they're half rep half OEM :?

They look fantastic but the fronts must rub. I have three sets of wheels (including OEM 224s) and all three need different spacer sizes to clear the front suspension uprights without rubbing the outer arch liner. The sweet spot where there is no rubbing at either the inboard or outboard edges leaves a total clearance of under 10mm. Also, this is dependent on running a little more negative camber and careful choice of tyre sizes. These wheels would definitely rub the outer arch liner with vertical travel of the suspension, and rub the back of the brake cooling duct in the bumper with any lock. As for the BGW, it would be fine on a track but look ridiculous on the road.

Hmm, that's a shame... How to get some wheels for a trial fitment without buying a set first :(
