f32 18x9 +30 square

I have an f32 xdrive. I have a set of Apex SM-10's in 18x9 +30. I know 245/40/18 is the preferred. I'd like to run 255/40/18. Anybody running this setup?

I know some of our customers have run 255/40s without rubbing, but it does depend on the model of tire you go with and your ride height. I would recommend 255/35-18s if you are looking for a rub-free fitment!

The 18x9" ET30 square setup pokes slightly in the front with stock ride height but the rear is very flush. With lowering springs, the front poke typically goes away (depending on what size/type of tires you are running).

For your reference, here is one of our customer's cars running 18x9" ET30 ARC-8s wrapped in 255/40-18 PS4S tires at all four corners. This car is also on Swift lowering springs.





Let me know if you have any additional questions!

Reason I ask is I'm looking at a square winter set of wheels with +30 offset 19" 225/35 and 255/35 and wonder if it will poke out too much on back and front.
Im stock M suspension RWD on F36

Hi,
Can you confirm what other modifications were made other than lowering springs. Looking for the same set up for xdrive.
Thanks a lot.

Hi there,

From what I can recall, this particular F30 only has Swift lowering springs. No other suspension/alignment changes to note.
