Has anyone run a similar set up on the front of an E86?

I’ve seen some nice aftermarket alloys, and want to get an idea if I’ll have any rubbing issues.

Many thanks. :thumbsup:

Cheers, looking at a genuine set of AC Schnitzer III’s

Have also emailed about the apex wheels in the classifieds, but no response yet.
