I had three sets of ARC8 before buying my first set of TA5Rs, then sold all my ARC8s. There is a big difference in perceived quality between them.

Anyway, if you really want staggered for some reason get 10.5/11. No reason to not maximize width up front.

Front tires take more of a beating that rears in M3s. 50% of the weight up front, most of the turning and braking occur there. These cars don't have enough power to really do much with the rear tires.
It's that drastic of a difference? Just overall look and feel?

I don't want to run any spacers and with my MCS I know the 18x10 et 25 front would clear, and allow me to still run somewhat of a street setup as well.

If you have stock brakes, the arc8 won't pass.

The construction of the wheels is quite different. The arc8 design is nice, but there's no getting around the ugly construction and details. The ta5r looks like a forged wheel, details are sharp and you get extras like bead grips

I run 10.5 square on my street tires as well as slicks. Oem M4 GT4s have 25mm spacers, but if you don't want any that's ok.

You have any photos of the TA5R on your car?

Yes, but I won't post them. Send your email/cell number over private message and I'll send some pics
