If that was a compliment, thank you. It really minimized the understeer and improved the traction with nt-01&apex.

I can steer at hard turn with more confident and a quick response.

I'm not sure if this will help but Ill share my street set up, they are 255/40/18 18x9 31et squared.

Tires are BFgoodrich comp2 (usually wider than other model/brand) and it rubs to the KW coilover strut without my 3mm spacers.

Does the front wheel poke without camber?

Never tried without cambers. APex wheels were mounted after I got my camber plates.

Can you specify the size of your tires and brand.

How much extra room do you have up front? Do you think if the front poked out 2mm more it would be a problem? Your fitment looks super flush. Congrats

Yes that was a compliment. It's awesome to see an aggressive track setup on the F30.

Michelin Pilot AS3+ 255/40/18 all around

Not sure I'd want to go out too much more in the front or rear for that matter.

Alright! I'm gonna pull the plug and order 17x9.5 et35 and 17x9 et30 for the front and rear. I'm a little worried about the fitment of the front but it shouldnt be too bad. Both have the deep concave face. I went with 17s because they're cheaper and you can buy the tires for them MUCH cheaper than you can for 18s. I'm going to wrap them with some toyo r1r's 245/45 front and 275/40 rear. Will post pictures when i mount them

Hey guys - I Just place an order for a square set up of gloss black Arc-8 18x9 ET42 wheels wrapped with Conti ExtreamContact 245/40/18 for my Glacier Silver 340.

Do you think I will need 5/10mm spacers for the front? Does anyone have this setup? I tried to order the 18x9 ET30 set, but Apex rep did not recommend such an aggressive setup. Is he right?

Ended up getting a fantastic Black Friday deal for some VMR wheels so I ended up with a set of those. Were less half the price of a set of apexs

Does anyone know if the 19x8.5 et 20 will fit on the F30 fronts? I have a 19x8.5 et 30 wheel on the front now and there is never rubbing and I think I even have room for spacers. I haven't been able to measure if I have 10mm of space though. Wondering if anyone has tried it.

Omg that looks amazing!!!!

I plan to get the 18x8.5 et38 Apex Arc-8 in bronze from the recent group buy that opened. I got 235/40-18 MPSS's for the rims. I'm going for a square set-up and I'm wondering if there'll be any rubbing? also do you guys this set-up will sit flush?

You'll have zero problems. plenty of room, no rubbing, kinda flush.

Perfect thanks! I didn't want to have to get spacers or anything

Going back to this setup, did you have to do anything to fit the rear 9.5 ET35? I decided I want to do the 18x8.5F/9.5R with 245/40 and 275/35. APEX has noted that rear may be too aggressive if fenders are not rolled/pulled.

Does anyone know if the 9.5 ET35s clear MPerf. Brakes?

It should. I ran a 19x9.5 +35 and it cleared the rear brakes just fine. I cannot comment on the front clearance.
