Thanks for your feedback guys. I'm sure it'll be hard for everyone to appreciate this approach since mainstream upgrade path is to install sports designs with ULP tyres.
With so much rubber around rims this German car looks very British  -- it reminds me classic Jaguars from '80s or early '90s.Arches are very tight now. I can't insert palm of my hand between arch and wheel. Suspension elements are about 1cm from edge of tyre. But no rubbing. It also sits higher because wheels are higher. Ride is very comfortable. The next project is to put tiptronic heated multi function steering wheel into the car instead of sport tiptronic one that I think looks a bit sick in this type of car. After RNS-E install all those telephone and voice activation buttons will come handy. I've purchased all parts. I'll soon be selling my legacy 7 spike R18 alloys (fully refurbished) and my current tiptronic sports steering wheel.
