Was pretty busy today running around and still no rubbing or any issues. Will snap some tomorrow.

Anything for you, my Man. You've helped me with so much.



One thing I've noticed is the lack of push or understeer with the meatier front tires. Even in the rain it's very noticeable. Car just grips.

The 265s in the back really make the rear feel planted and glued as well. It's very noticable.





I think the front fitment is perfect. It's flush and looks great. Will probably look better when I get the M3 LCAs on.

The rear, like I've said, poke a little. Nothing I can't live with. Glad I saved the $500+ over getting them pushed in 5mms.
Can't wait for the weather to clear up.

Nice. What did you end up doing with your stock wheels and tires ?

Wish I could fit at least 255 on the stock rims but they are already maxed out at 255

With the rain and some 21k worn down PSSs the dsc light looks like s Christmas tree when you try to accelerate from s turn

Yeah the hubcentricity of BMW rolling stock designs got me in trouble with Enkeis before...had to install these rings.

You won't need the hub extender, just a nice 5mm spacer that fits. I was a but uneasy with the 5mm spacer up front at first, but I thrashed my car in the corners and have had no issues.

On your setup, try 12mm rear and 5mm front. If memory serves me right, you have ET45 front and ET 58 rear.

Yup, great memory!

Yeah some people said if you track the car it's bad to have spacers. Not sure if it's myth or not. I guess if it's hubcentric and need bolts are installed it should be good.

So you have the Turner stuff?

I purchased from Apex.
I got my 5mm spacers from Apex after being given wrong information on fitment.

Rear indeed pokes , on street driving conditions i'm sure it's fine but would you agree that on the same pressure conditions as these 2 pics it will be a disaster ?

[Cloud IX]

I doubt it. In both those pictures there is more then 0.2 inches of gap.

To OP: your picture of the car doesn't say much, please show us the poking aiming your camera parallel, not from beneath

Didn't know I was supposed to post a specific shot just for you.

[Cloud IX]

I have this shot on my phone right now, maybe it a little more helpful for you.

[moldcad]

No it isn't. I was talking about a level rear view. And I said it would be helpful to us, not just myself.

Thanks, anyway

Don't get your panties bunch up, I was kidding.

[Drpoomanchu]

im glad you are pursuing the 265 rear. I will be ordering wheels very soon and would like nothing more than to run a 235 and 265. I'm debating on whether to go with 18's or 19's leaning towards 18's for performance but 19's fill the well much better. tough decisions would you mind taking a side shot, from the rear down the side of the car showing poke mainly on rear wheel? thinking about an ET 40 or ET50 then use spacer to accommodate. car looks great BTW.

[Mywifes335]

Sorry guys. Had two surgeries lately so don't get out much. This was in between hip replacements and had a day to get out - got intercooler installed and dynoed.

This is the most recent shot of the car with the wheel/tire setup.

Another from shortly after wheels installed.

Apex staggered 18s and PSS 225F/265R.

Can you give explain the wrong info given by Apex? Like everyone in this thread, I really want 235/265. And according to this thread http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1070807 that shouldn't be a problem.

I thought the same thing until I mounted my wheels. ET45 will not clear the front strut, you will need a 3mm spacer at the very least. 5mm if you want to run 235 tire.

Damn straight. I wish Apex told me.

They swore up and down that 235 would be no issue up front but were hesitant about 265 in rear... 255 rear was guaranteed however.

To be fair though, it did "fit", they literally meant it FIT. I was able to wedge a business card between my wheel and strut.

Also, I'll PM you on for spacers that I think you should get. Don't feel like you cash out for something as simple as spacers and bolts. Hopefully then you can start running a 235 front!

Sweet, thanks man.

Yup, I agree. They did FIT, but the wheel wouldn't turn. Lol.

I used a measuring stick to get it as parallel as I could. You can see how much it pokes. I'm pretty sure the if the wells actually got low enough, would I doubt they would, the resulting camber would actually tuck them in.
