Ordered 5mm spacers for the front to try it out, otherwise there will be a brand new set of these for sale soon...

I used a 12mm spacer in that pic FYI. I never tried them without spacers. With OEM tires there will be stretch. Can easily fit a 235 or maybe a 245 if you want. My front setup is still for sale too. Also have 15mm spacers for sale.

Nitto NT-05 Tires;
Front: 235 x 40 x 18
Rear: 265 x 35 x 18

Suspension:
Dinan Performance Spring Set w/ Supplemental Ride Quality & Handling Kit

I would like to extend my thanks to first, Crevier BMW for installing the suspension and alignment then second to EAS for the tires, rims and balance. Both very professional and taking pride in their work.

Any issues with rubbing? I'm looking at doing either the ARC-8s or EC-7s in these sizes with 3mm spacers with the same tire sizes but on Michelin tires

With the 235x40x18 front tires I might have to roll the front fenders because of the inner lip but I think I'll go back down to 225x40x18 tire, should be enough to clear. No issues in the rear, no rubbing wit 3mm spacers installed.

A frontal picture to better show figment. Hope this helps. Michelins will wear longer than the Nitto tires, car uses the rear tires up fast.

Just another question I noticed you say you have a 52 offset in the rear but I'm not seeing that offered only a 58 did you make a mistake or did apex used to make a 18x9.5ET52 in these wheels and no longer does?

Good eyes, my typo, my bad. It is in fact ET58 and thanks for letting me know. I will fix the original post.
Have fun and I'm sure you'll enjoy whatever combinations you pick. Please post pictures.

Alright cool thank you and yes I'll be sure to post them as soon as they're bought and on the car should be about another month or so

I haven't done any modifications. These wheels fit like this as is.

^ Love the spec! Looks like your fenders were rolled. Was it a requirement to run that spec?

I'm trying to figure out if I can run 18x9 +42 all around on 255 RE-71Rs (with spacer in front). Currently lowered on H&R springs.

You will need some way to get more camber up front. H&R springs are pretty low which will make it more difficult also. You should not need to roll any fender. You will probably need a spacer though.

Thanks. I don't mind doing camber plates for more camber. My main concern is just fitting the damn wheels and tires first then I'll worry about specifics to avoid minor clearance issues.
