Staggered Set-Up for Apex EC-7 / Arc-8
I have a 2015 m235i, and I'm thinking of buying either the Apex EC-7 or Arc-8 wheels in these sizes:
Front: 18x8.5 ET45 Rear: 18x9.5 ET58 For tires, I'm thinking of 225/40-18 in front and 255/35-18 in rear. As I understand it, 225/40 is the only size that will fit on the front of the F22 without spacers or other modifications. However, 225/40 seems like quite a stretch for an 8.5-width rim. Are others running this set up? If so, any thoughts? |

I'm running 18.5x8.5 Ec-7s et 45 with 235/40 On the front. This setup would work without a spacer if the wheels had +38 offset, but I decided on going with +45 and a spacer to keep my options open down the road.
My car has all stock suspension.

I had just inquired with Apex Racing about the EC-7 wheels and was given this recommendation:
Front: 18x8.5" ET35 with 225/40-18 tires Rear: 18x9.5" ET58 with 255/35-18 tires - Front 235/40-18 tires are typically a direct fit, but may require a touch of negative camber if the car is lowered. - Rear wheels/tires are a direct fit with no modifications required. |

Thanks. Are you happy with the setup? What are you running in the rear?

I really like the way Ec7s look, they're a lot more concave in person than they are in pics. I'm also using Apex spacers and wheel studs as well. They both seem like high quality parts and the studs definitely look aggressive.
