Have these wheels been tested to fit over the m performance brakes? Specifically the 18x8.5" ET35?

Do those two cars have the same setups? What's the ideal 18" square setup with the ARC-8 and a lowered car?

What would it take to run 18x9.5 all around? Different offsets? Also would like to run wide tires as well. I have a 335i M Sport with the M Sport brakes.

I'd like to run the 9.5 all around to have that deep concave look. But if staggered is the way to go then would 9/9.5 F/R work? I will most likely run continental DW tires as that's what I have now. They seem to be a good budget tire for daily use. I know the PSS would be ideal but for the money I thought the DW were enough for me. Thanks for any help! |

Since this is a street car, and based on the tires you mention I would guess it will not see any serious track time, I would recommend running a staggered fitment that is a bit more street friendly. By decreasing the wheel diameter from your current 19" wheels, you will significantly reduce rotating mass, as well as increase comfort and wheel protection due to the larger tire sidewalls. 245's or 255's are certainly doable up front with the right wheel specifications and alignment settings, but that is about as much tire as one would need under the front fenders for a street car. Thechange from 19's to light weight 18's and better tires will have a dramatic affect on how the car handles, feels and performs overall. Furthermore, you do not need to run a 9.5" wheel to achieve the deep concave look. Our ARC-8 18x9" ET30 application has a profile 3 concave face, just like the 9.5" wheel. What are your current wheel offsets? - Ryan

Continental Extreme Contact DW Summer tires 19x8.5 et35 245/35-19 19x9.5 et43 275/30-19 After researching and thinking about it, you are right and it is probably not wise to run 275 all around on my car. It is my daily driver and I have another car that I use for the track anyways. I guess I just wanted a more aggressive look out of my daily and also be able to drive it hard if needed. I do like going on spirited drives around the mountains be me. I am most likely looking at doing an 8.5/9.5 setup with 245/275 size tires again like I am running now. Maybe even go 255/275? Like you said, I am looking to downsize to get that extra rim protection but I would also like to keep the tire widths I have for handling purposes. Also, I don't want to stretch tires. You're saying I can achieve the deep concave look from a 9" wheel as well so you think I can do 8.5/9 F/R? Or do you mean to say I should do 9" all around with maybe 255's all around? Ideally I would like to keep the 275's in the back because it just looks good from behind haha and if the only way to do that is with the 8.5/9.54 F/R then I am okay with that. Again thank you for your help! -Marco |

Option 1: EC-7 18x9" ET42 profile 1 face - 245/40-18 or 255/35-18 EC-7 18x9.5" ET43 profile 2 face - 275/35-18 ^ Up front 245's are a direct fit, however 255's would require negative camber to clear the fenders and possibly some small spacers to clear the struts or Option 2: EC-7 18x9" ET31 profile 2 face - 245/40-18 EC-7 18x9.5" ET43 profile 2 face - 275/35-18 ^ This front wheel is more aggressive then the front wheel in option 1, and will require negative camber to fit without rubbing the front fenders. - Ryan

Question: what size would you recommend for a combination of the best lap times and fun to drive? I despise the current understeer. This will stay a street car with street tires that sees a few road course and auto cross events per year. Would +20 in the front and +10 in the rear do it (245 front and 265 rear) alone? Or would I need alignment adjustments as well to balance the car (reduce understeer) and if so would it be mild enough to not wear the tires out too fast on the street? I don't mind sacrificing a little wear life if I can minimize tire size but I wouldn't want any excessive wear.
18x9" ET30 and 18x9.5" ET22 for 245 front and 265 rear? looks like the stock front wheels are 22.5 lbs and the rears are 24.5 so the weight savings would be about -20 pounds or a 20% reduction. Not bad! Is this the size you would recommend? How does it compare to the EC-7s in weight? Last edited by GoKartZ4M; 06-22-2017 at 03:28 PM.. |

Concave ARC-8s and APEX wheel studs are a perfect combination.

Low clearance? No problem.
These 18" Satin Black ARC-8s slide right over massive StopTech brakes.
