Help needed. Apex ARC8 Square Set

so theres a seller about 2 hours from me selling apex arc 8 18x9.5 +35 square set up with 265/35 for a good deal.
will this set up work for my 2016 340i? or will it be too aggressive? I'm currently on stock suspension.would like to jump on this deal if it works.

thank you in advance

Rims will fit but the tires are too short for f3x. It'll prob work but they're 2.7% smaller than stock.

Inner clearance up front may be an issue with a 265.

I have to run -3 degrees of camber with a mild fender roll to fit my 245 (256 measured) tires up front.

You can prob use them. they're just shorter than stock so your speedo will be way off. I'd skip using them since 265 is pretty wide and you'll likely rub at lock

What are you wheel specs? It sounds like you're running a pretty low offset if you need -3 camber and a fender roll to fit 245s in front.

18x8.5 et38. I also have F80 LCA/TS. These RS4s say they're 245 but like I said they're actually 256 on a 8.5" wheel.

Ahh yeah, makes sense with those tires. I ran ECS in 245 which are pretty narrow. My Indy 500s now are 255 but they're prob still not as wide as your RS4s. I'm running with -2.5* camber with standard LCAs and 8* of caster. We'll see how 245/40 r888r/nt01rs fit with my 18s once I get them mounted up.

I was running 245 PS4s before these and they fit in nicely with no rub at all. That was back when I had -1.8 up front, caster has been near 8.5 since installing the LCAs. The rub point was pretty much exactly where the bumper and fender meet because the forward thrust. Tire Rack has all the measured sizes so you can get a better idea, very useful info. With -2.5 mine hardly rubbed at all, but that's after I removed the fender/bumper tab.
