Model 3 LR Tyres - Michelin E PRIMACY XL, PILOT SPORT 4 T0 or Others

Good Question, I was looking on the photos but could not find any M3 R18 with E.Primacy fitted. From photos they looks very similar to PS4 T0 when it comes to rim protection.
I have put the 18” wheels from TSportline on my 3 performance; with the EPrimacy the rim is recessed by about 5mm from the tyre.
Now, I thought it was due to the shape of the wheel and not the tyre itself.

It isn’t flushed like it was with the PS4 and the Tesla wheels
 
Fitted e-primacy about 18 months ago. No noticeable noise increase. Did notice they feel softer in the corners than the PS4.
Has the same average power consumption too.
got 34k miles from the OE PS4 and currently on 43k miles on the e-primacy.
pics attached of the trip which I reset in new tyres for the people that disbelieved last time I said I achieved 37k miles.
Tried to get a shot of the rim protection too.
I need to replace these soon as you can see.
It's a 2020 M3LR by the way
