Rotiform NUE et30 17x8 with P225/45R-17 Pirelli P Zero Nero All Season Run Flats
I do get some rubbing in the back when I pack the car up and hit bumps or dips in the road. Doesn't look like my inspiration photos had that issue.. any thoughts?

Why it worked for us: 1. We are all lowered 2. We have a crap load of negative camber in the back to tuck the wheel in 3. We all run undersized tires. At least for me, I ran 205/40s. 225/45 is way too wide for a flush look. If you plan on lowering it, you need smaller tires.

So I reached out to Rotiform and they told me that I should put electrical tape around the hub to fill the gap because I wont find a spacer that size. They also suggested that the 1mm gap shouldn't cause a problem; I can assure you that there is vibration and something is not right, and my only logical guess is the 1mm gap.
Did you have vibration issues?

2. why the tractor tyres? 205/14/17 really is the maximum you should be using on wheels with this width and offset
3. mudflaps need to go

1. Coilovers are on my list of things I've thought about buying, but the "tractor tires" I currently have would not tuck. Also, my car has the Sport Suspension option, would coilovers perform better? I also like the outdoors and don't want to lower my car because I need to take it on gravel roads and dont want to have to worry about clearance.
2. I wanted all season tires because I didn't want two sets of wheels again (summer and winter). Also, I wanted runflats; I got rid of my runflats on my 135i and lost a lot of the stiff turn-in feel (I didn't want to loose any of the go-kart type feel on this car). Stretching runflats did not seem like an option. So 225/45 is the size I was stuck with. I was also not familiar with stretching tires and what would look best.
3. Had to have the mudflaps with this setup; my paint was taking a beating with all the sand and rocks on the road from the winter.
