We produce the 18x9" ET30 ARC-8, which can be used with a 245/40-18 tire, but this setup may require front negative camber and/or rolled rear fenders with certain tire brands.

255/40-18 tires would require more negative camber dialed in up front, and would certainly require rolled rear fenders to prevent rubbing under all circumstances.

Thanks for the quick reply. I should have mentioned 19", and I'll get camber plates. What fits a 255 on the front in your line up given this please?

I've got a 2013 F30 335i with M-sport suspension.

I'm looking at trying a 255/35 19 on the EC-7 19 x 9 et40 square setup. It looks like the outside position is only 1mm wider than the 8.5 et 35s, but inside clearance is 11mm less. Does anyone know if this setup would work?

This setup will work just fine on the F30 with M-sport suspension. We would recommend the following fitment as a bolt up fitment with no spacers:

F/R: 19x9" ET40 - 245/35-19

Moving up to a 255/35-19 might introduce some rubbing issues but we have not tested this fitment so we cannot confirm 255/35-19 will clear without any issues.

Much thanks for the input.

Also, would you be able to point me to any pictures of a Mineral Gray F30 with Anthracite Apex wheels? I've done some searching but haven't been able to find anything I'm certain is that combination. I've seen them on space gray metallic and they look great, but your website pictures (at least on my monitor) make the anthracite wheels look a little warmer in color and I want to make sure they would be a good match.

After doing some digging on our Flickr, this would be the closest thing we have to a Mineral Grey F30 on Anthracite wheels:



As you can see, the Anthracite option is a great match for any of the BMW gray paint options!

Thanks. Those do look awesome.

I'm looking at Apex ARC-8's or EC-7 both staggered from my 2018 440x Grande Coupe. Trying to decide to stay with 18's or go to 19's without effecting the comfort to much. Apex suggested a 19x8.5 ET35 with 235/40-19 ties in front and 19x9.5 ET43 with 265/35 tires in the rear with out any fitment issues.....These will be for summer performance tires only....

Any thought or suggestions would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance

OP or apex any thoughts on if your exact setup (255 squared 8.5" rim) would work if lowered 1" on dinan springs xdrive?

We're a little late on this, but for anyone else wondering: The fitment you listed is a direct fit and exactly what we recommend, and does not require any other modifications. The rear 19x9.5" ET43 is only available in the EC-7 design however, so that's something to consider.

19x8.5" ET35 is a direct fit with 235/40 and 245/35 tires, but we haven't tested it with 255/35-19 tires to confirm. There may be ever-so-slight rubbing depending on tire brand, so I'd suggest being prepared to either roll the rear fenders or add a touch of negative camber up front if necessary.

Mineral Grey F30 on Anthracite wheels looks great!

I just got some 19x8.5 squared setup for my gray F34. The black flows nicely as well.

This looks great! Did you ever lower them?
