Wow....now that is a deal. BTW the 18x9 as a spare might not work. I tried using a 17x8.5 as a spare and the trunk "carpet" does not lie flat. The basket cannot thread down far enough due to the increase in width. Also an 18x9 would rub if you got a flat up front. Again...great find!

I actually have 18x8F 18x9R at the moment and my space is the stock 17 Monoblock and when i got a flat 2 years ago i used the 17 for a week till i got the flat repaired and there was no problem at all, the 18 inch have low profile and the 17 has high profile so it made up for the wheel size, i might just use that again. and the wheels i just got are 18x8F ET 31 and 18x9R ET 35, so idk where did you get the 18x9 upfront from

You said that your cousin had a rear E55 rim you were going to use as a "spare". If you meant using as a spare as in spare tire in the trunk tub....then if you were to get a flat in front you would be using it it in front. On the other hand I now see you could also mean a spare as in just in case something happens to one of your rears.
