Default Winter set up

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has tired out the fitment of 17x7.5 fast wheels tactic on the 350 f sport before. I have a friend who works at a bmw dealer and they get a good deal through the supplier for fast wheels but I haven’t been able to find anyone else using those rims on a 350 f sport.

To find a 17 inch wheel for a 350 is going to be tough because of the front brake calipers...outside of 17 inch OEM wheels.
And a 17x7.5 is almost guaranteed not to fit...of course we don't know the offset, but at those specs I don't think it matters.

They come in +30 and +40, their website says it will fit but I’m skeptical.

I checked two websites (PMCtire and 1010tires) and both confirm the 17x7.5 +40 will fit...and it has a 60.1mm bore, which would be a direct fit to the 3IS without the need for hub spacers.
After looking at the actual rim design it looks like the way they shape the spokes to contact at the very edge of the rim is likely why it will fit without hitting the caliper.
I'd say pull the trigger on a set.
