Verdict: the 18x8 fronts fit GREAT.
Looking forward to running 225- or 235-40-18 Sport Cups, Hoosiers, or similar at the Glen this summer since I probably won't get around to re-ringing the engine in my 350Z until fall (it's a full-on track/race car with a Nissan Motorsport development engine that I f'd up last fall, DOH, live and learn). So the big comfy wagon gets to do a little track duty ... I run Black w/ PCA and in Group 1 with BMW so this should be hilarious being out there w/ Spec Miatas, GT3s etc :redspot
Anyway, pics (sorry, iPhone quality and the car's dirty w/ road-salt, grr):
rear view (using 2x4s to simulate sidewall height of a tire + allow me to compress suspension)

Picking up 2 more fronts from an e46fanatics forum member (2 M3 rears are available, currently speaking to two members about either a trade or selling them, if either falls through I'll post a separate FS here/there) then I'll start shopping for which track tires I'm going to toss on there. Nice thing about the Touring is there's plenty of trunk space for track crap :woot:
