I run 245/35-19 Michelin PSAS. I tried the 255s when I had 18” ARC8s but I experienced some rubs so I dropped down to these and haven’t had a problem since. Having had both I have also decided I like the look of these more than I did the 255s.

Just ordered brand new Apex ARC-8 18x9.0 ET30 square setup
Wanted go with 255/40/18 all season run flats or non RFany tire brand or model recommendation's to avoid the rub?

or 245/40/18 is only option without rub?

Has M-sport stocks suspension and M-perf brakes.
Thank for feedback.

In the literal same position with my F31. In for the same info about 255/40/18 rubbing.

This thread helped me out a ton with my eventual purchase.

Got some more pics? Trying to see how that 245/40 looks on the 9” wheel.

Think this may help, looking at my front wheels only.

Pic 1 and 2
1 = 255/40
2 = 245/40

Pic 3 and 4
1 = 255/40
2 =245/40


On the front, inner clerance is very tight on full lock but zero scrubbing even on bumpy b roads at pace.

Would have no problems on the back but on sq Setup you'd have more front poke I think so if were me I'd vary the tyre sizes or run 3-5mm spacer.

This is a 9” wide wheel?

Stock xdrive suspension?

Thanks!

As long as your car isn't slammed to the ground, it won't rub.

Did you have issues rubbing with the 255/40 in front? Step down to 245/40?
Thanks

255/40/18 would fit without rubbing in front.

No switched from 245 to 255 as look better. See my post above for scrubbing info. And note, I am lowered.

Only issue you will have with sq setup is that front wheels will poke slightly more than rear. So for that reason I would consider 245 front, 255 rear, unless you can't due to x drive.

My setup is 9.5 et35 rear with 265/40. I love meaty tyre look.

Look at posts 418 and 420 on previous pages; same ARC-8s; see what they've done re tyre sizes

Just got my 18x9+30 ARC8 mounted and installed. Continental DWS06+ 255/40/18,
Oem xdrive suspension and alignment.
The 255/40 are beefy for sure. But maintains the oem 26” tall tire were as the 245/40 measures 25.7” on an 8.5” wheel. Gunna go ahead and assume a 245/40 on a 9” would measure 25.6 due to stretch. The rear is a perfect fit IMO. The front sidewall do stick outside the fenders by ~.25”. Zero rubbing.

Great I ended up going with 245/40/18 on ARC-8 9" square.

Received a set of APEX Arc-8s Anthracite 18x9 ET30 square straight from Apex a few days ago.

255/40/18 DWS 06+ fit perfectly, but I already knew that from my old N55.

Lowered on Eibach 05-22 springs (car is on a slope). It was pouring torrential rain out so couldn't get better pics unfortunately.


Also didn't know APEX updated their center caps. Expert@ApexWheels

Thanks for picking up a set! They look great on your F30.

Yes, our cap design has shifted along with a larger change for our branding in general. The ARC-8s are some of our first wheels to go out with the new cap design that you have. We're in a transition phase so not all wheels shipping out have the new cap design. We are making sure that mixed sets are not being shipped though. Closeup images are available here:

Im going this exact set up. I've got a mineral gray 440xi CG too and I just ordered the ARC8's 9" et30 today. Doing 255/40/18 tires.

It was between the ARCs and the EC-7Rs, but this is my dd and I'd want to make it look good, but keep it subtle and low-key. IMO the EC's are attention grabbing and belong on a more specialty car, like the M4. The ARC's are perfect for daily driving.

Your post really helped me to decide as I could see 100% what the finished product will look like.

Thanks for sharing.

Yessir glad it helped someone out in the decision making process. You won’t regret it.
