They fit perfect (no Rubbing) and IMO look really Good!! It really chages the appearance of the car from all side angles and it looks very aggressive. As I was told after I bought them, there is only one way to know if they fit..PUT 'EM ON!
The ride is actually more smooth that the OEM 18's. I only had time to snap one Picture last night. I will take some better pictures this weekend.

Damn, Chi Town, looks really nice!
I know this was really bugging you so I'm glad this worked out.
One piece of advice if you decide to take more pictures...
...watch where you stand. Getting hit by on-coming traffic might hurt.

The fit inside the fenders but...
I mean that the tire diameter is too large which affects everything from ratios to the speedometer and iDrive settings.
245/40 18" is OK but 245/40 19" is some mm:s above normal. This should mean that the tire makes a "slower roundel" than the original size.
