Any opinions on the OEM BMW 15mm rear sway bar that's found on the M235i over the 13mm OEM BMW rear sway bar that's found on the 335i RWD M Sport (704 Sport Suspension)? |

I guess this is to be expected when I'm running 18x10 wheels with 275mm tires on an F30...

Keep a finger or two of gap between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender front and rear and you'll be good. The rake is about perfect on these cars; when I looked at corner weights for a corner balance, the car was pretty much perfect without any adjustments.

Oh, and by the way... The car feels great with zero tow in the front (or even 1/16th or so tow out), and about -3.0° camber. In the back, -2.0° camber, and 2 or 3/32nds of rear tow in is plenty.

Yup, as Polo said, I had to do some rolling/pulling of the front and rear fenders... Hard to tell unless you look close, but it definitely made some more room. My 18x9.5 et35 Apex ARC-8s with 265mm RE-71Rs cleared without rubbing with -3.0° front and -2.0° rear camber. But the 18x10 et33 Bimmerworld TE:AL TA16s with 275mm RE-71Rs seemed much bigger than just 1/2"!! On paper they should have worked, but perhaps the Bimmerworld wheels are a little bigger in the metal than Apex wheels....

I doubt there's much difference between 265s and 275s on a 9.5" wheel though.

Sorry to ask so many questions, but why did you go with the BimmerWorld TE:AL TA16 Forged Race Wheel - 18" (ET33) instead of the APEX ARC-8 18x10" ET25? The Apex are cheaper, but will that offset not work? |

Fitting 18x10 wheels/275 tires (square) on an F30
Quote:
I've had two sets of Apex ARC-8s, and they've been great, bulletproof wheels. But I wanted to try something a little different for the next set, so I was on the fence between Apex SM-10s and the Bimmerworld wheels. Even the ARC-8s (which Apex recommends more for lighter cars) have proven to be really tough, so I'm sure the SM-10s are more than up the job of handling the abuse I'll put them through. But of course the BW wheels, which are forged on a 10k ton press, are in another league of strength. Also, in 18x10 et33, the BW wheels are about a pound lighter than the SM-10s, so I figured I'd take the plunge for another $80/wheel and get what I really wanted. By the way, Apex and BW both offer their 18x10 wheels in both et33 and et25. But for a square setup, et25 would be a much bigger challenge to fit, as it would require another 5/16" clearance to the fender over the et33...which would be asking a lot in the back. In the front, it could be made to fit, as the front fenders are much more willing to be rolled/pulled (and I needed a 5mm spacer in the front to clear the strut properly anyway, so it would really only be another 3mm). But in the back, there's plenty of strut clearance, but the fenders are a real challenge.
