I am interested in a bunch of OEM side shots with measurements from the fenders as well, especially the front.

I'm on the fence between OEM and REP for a F30, but leaning towards the REPs because of my calculated poke past the fenders. Currently I have 18x8.5ET35 front (about 5mm inside fender) and 18x9.5 ET33 rear which measures 27mm. That looks just fine, but I think the perfect look is 12mm front and 21mm rear which gives an aggressive tire look outside both fenders without being too much or looking unbalanced.

Ideal 12mm / 21mm (0mm / 0mm)
19x8.5 ET35 / 19x9.5 ET40 REPs calculate to 5.5mm / 20mm (-6.5mm / - 1mm)
REPs with 5mm front spacer calculate to 10.5mm / 20mm (-1.5mm / -1mm)
19x9.0 ET29 / 19x10 ET40 OEM calculate to 18mm / 26.5mm (+6mm / +5.5mm)

Will be using 235/40 and 265/35 tires if I buy replica wheels and use 255/25 and 265/35 if I buy OEM.

Anything smaller than 235 in the front looks stretched.
Anything larger than 255 in the front will rub.
Anything larger than 265 in the rear has a chance of rubbing. Many have run 275 without issue.
