Am I seeing things or is that a 4 post lift in your garage?

This thread was very helpful in my purchase decision, so I'll add another data point. I was part of the 2020 group buy, but only got around to installing these fairly recently:
Front: 18x8.5 ET38, stock camber & springs, no spacers
Rear: 18x9 ET42, stock camber & springs, no spacers
Tires: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 225/40 & 255/35
I went with Anthracite w/ matching valve stems, which is a shade darker than I expected but still looks very sharp on my Mystic Blue sedan. My setup is nearly stock and I have no rubbing or other complaints.
Consequently, I have a set of stock 135s that are looking for a new home...
agreed looks great!

Just seeing this thread. We run a lot of wide(r) wheels on E46 chassis and I have never had a 9" wheel rub that has an offset of et42-45. For street/track cars this is our go-to setup 17x9 or 18x9 et42 with 255 tires, never had an issue even with stock alignment specs.
18x9 et45 wtih 255/35/18 tires on SSRs, lowered.
17x9 et42 with 255/40/17 tires on Arc-8s, lowered.
17x9 et42 with 255/40/17 tires on Arc-8s, lowered.
17x9 et45 with 255/40/17 tires on TRM C4s, lowered.
18x9 et42 with 255/35/18 tires on Arc-8s, stockish height.
