Need some help with track wheels/tires

timsev · 03-22-2013, 10:09 AM

I'm getting an E92 M3 ready for track and need some help choosing wheel/tire sizes.

It looks like going square is the best idea in terms of tire choice. What size wheels and offset should I get? 18x10 et25 with 275/35/18?

Any spacers needed?

Sorry for the noob questions. I'm used to E46's.

Do the sizes you listed, they're the best option IMO. Probably need a 5mm spacer in front (I did with KW CS).

18x10's 25p fit on stock suspension with no need for spacers.This is the best option for a track day setup with 275/35 18's square.

Thanks guys. Ordering the 18x10 et25 Apex Arc8's with ZII's 275/35/18. Will be on stock ZCP suspension.

+1. Out of square option, you get more life out of the tires. I'm running apex 18x9.5 square and its perfect, but mainly cause I might get an e46 M, if not I would have chosen 18x10

Ditto above. I did it with Stoptech 380's and have a ton of clearance with Apex EC-7.
