    E46 here, SLR Ultra Arms (54mm wider then factory) using 245/40r17 on a 17x8et20 (style 5) with 30mm spacers. No rub.

    Yeah I'm at -10 total. And I'm not sure, I had the HARD motorsport flares installed before I did the angle kit.

    E46 Also. Currently running stock arms with 32mm spacers and a 18x9 et44 (12 with spacers) with a 245/35 and I barely rub and only on massive bumps.

    Edit: I ran the same spacers on my old e36 325is with an et33 wheel and a 245/40. zero clearance issues. But it did rub the fenders a good amount.

    Edit again: Car had a complete m3 front end, shocks, swaybar, brakes.

    I too enjoy the feeling of another man's beard between my turd cutter's cheeks.

    Status: Someone put glitter in my oil. Wait. Why's all my oil outside the engine? What's that knocking?

    Wheels will be fine. Tire choice is key. I run 235/40/17 and had to trim bumper with the caster I have.(only about 5 degrees)
