Was looking to get 19x9 ET28 all around on my F32, the fitment guide on the Apex website claims that its a direct fit with no modifications, is that true? Is that on stock height? Any photos of that setup?

Hi there,

That is correct, the 19x9" ET28 or ET30 (depending on wheel design) will be a direct fit on a stock F3X with a 245/34-19 tire.

Here is a stock F31 on 19x9" ET30 SM-10 wheels wrapped in 245/45-19 Michelin PS4S tires:



Hope this helps!

We offer 3 wheel models in these sizes: EC-7, EC-7R, and ARC-8R. Specs are as follows:

EC-7 Flow formed:
18x9 ET31 21.25 lbs
18x9.5 ET43 21.55 lbs

EC-7R Forged:
18x9 ET30 19.2 lbs
18x9.5 ET45 20 lbs

ARC-8R Forged:
18x9 ET30 18.7 lbs
18x9.5 ET45 20 lbs

These weights are approximate and may vary slightly based on finish/production ET C. The forged wheels also have a significantly higher load rating as well as being lighter. Our other flow-formed wheels aren't available in these size/offsets.

If you might end up running a larger BBK on this car in the future I would recommend our EC-7Rs or EC-7s despite the slight weight penalty for improved spoke side brake clearance.

Any specs including weight are always available on our product pages on the website as well. Check the specifications tab under the wheel photos on desktop for this info.

Thanks,

-Tom

The setup mentioned above is what I generally recommend for those looking to maximize their rear tire size. Our customers generally run 245/40-18F and 275/35-18 rear tires for these wheels. Here is an example of that fitment: https://flic.kr/p/2iV1wub

Alternatively, if you are looking to maximize tire size overall, some of our customers have run our 18x9.5 ET35s all the way around with 265/35-18 tires: https://flic.kr/p/2khU3ZE

The 18x9.5 ET35 fitment above is not a guaranteed rub-free fitment. Depending on the model of tire you choose, alignment settings, and ride height of the car you may experience rubbing either in the front or in the rear. This fitment also has extremely close clearance up front on the strut side and is not recommended for cars with suspension that limits clearance like KW/ST coilovers. A small front spacer may be required even with stock suspension.

An easier square fitment to run would be our 18x9 ET30 setup which is a direct fit with 245 or 255 section tires.

Is there FL-5 wheel for 245/40-18F and 275/35-18 tire or wider and rub-free fitment?

Not without modifying your rear fenders. Our 18x9 ET30 FL-5 would be a direct fit up front with that tire size, but the only wheel that would be close to fitting in the rear would be our 18x9.5 ET35. This can work with 265/35-18 tires in some cases, but would likely require a combination of fender rolling and negative camber to fit a 275/35-18. The FL-5s aren't available in the higher 18x9.5 ET43/45 offsets of our other wheels.
