Hi everyone im looking to buy avant garde 359 or apex arc 8, after my research on the forum i found that the best fitment for the359 would be 19 x9 18 and
19x10 25? I want to have a flush /aggresive look than my stock wheels. Also which tire do you recommand me ? I can spend 4000$ Canadian, i live in Québec
So if you can recommand me a shop in Montréal it would be great or a good dealer
(I speak french)

Appreciate your interest. Give Julien Pichette at JRP a call. JRP is our largest Canadian dealer, and he speaks French

In regards to a 19" staggered fitment, we would suggest the following three options:

Option 1: Same specs as the OEM M3 ZCP/GTS Wheels

F:19x9" ET30 - 255/35-19 (or 245/35-19)
R:19x10" ET25 - 275/35-18 (or 285/30-19)


Option 2: More aggressive/flush fitment

F: 19x9.5" ET22 - 275/30-19 (or 265/30-19)
R: 19x10.5" ET22 - 295/30-19 (or 285/30-19)

Option 3: Most aggressive (Similar to option 2 only the front wheels are wider)

F: 19x10" ET25 - 275/30-19
R: 19x10.5" ET22 - 295/30-19 (or 285/30-19)

* Depending on your ride height and the brand of tire you go with, 295's out back may require negative camber and/or light fender rolling.

Best Rim Size for E92 or E93

I found that 19x10 in the front and 19x11 rear take the handling to another level. The only negative is that you must replace the back tires every year and the front every other year.

What offset and tire size do you run with the 11” wide rear wheel?

There's only one option with the wide setup.

10" +25 and 11" +25.

Results in a flush front and rear with no spacers needed.

Interesting. I thought a R 11” wide wheel needed an offset between 30-32? Et25 sounds a bit aggressive and likely requires excessive R camber. I refuse to run more than -2.0 deg R camber, most track setups are -1.8 deg without sidewall wear and maximized contact patch for putting power down.

I have a 19x11et42 from my f82 m4 that I’d like to run on my e92 m3 and I’m trying to find the correct spacer thickness. I’ve found a range of ETs between 28-34 (1st time hearing et25) but unfortunately not enough pictures showing how the setups fit. I’m currently running 18x10et17 with 285/35 with -1.8 deg camber and it could still run a lower ET with the same camber. Just trying to find the correct frontspacing and especially rearspacing (don’t want to rub fuel filler neck) for an 11” wide wheel.

You can run the 19x11 et25 with stock camber, always depends on the tire size.

10.5et22 looks too aggressive to run a 295 so I’m guessing with an 11et25 you’re talking about a stretched 285, maybe a 295. I’m trying to fit a 305.

Not true. 11" +25 works perfectly on the rear on stock ride height or zcp ride height. Been running it for a few years now, on stock zcp ride height.

There is a very slight amount of rubbing that occurs initially on the nub between the bumper and fender, but it will self clear. Again- it is very slight.

Example of the wide setup below.

10" +25 265/30/19 PS4S Front.

11" +25 295/30/19 PS4S Rear.

Stock ZCP ride height.

Thanks for the info and pic. I’m trying to run a 305 so probably needs to be 5-8 mm less aggressive offset. I’ve seen some 11” setups with 305s and the offsets have been around 30-32. This seems about right compared to your 11et25/295 setup because a 305 is 12-15 mm wider than a 295 so 5-8 mm higher offset for the same frontspacing. I’m also running a lower ride height on MCS 2WR suspension with F/R 500/800 lbf/in springs.

Keep in mind not all tire brands are the same width in the same size. PS4S for example tends to run wide. 305's on the e9x chassis seem like more trouble than they are worth IMHO. 295 is the sweet spot.

There's going to be an option for custom offsets for m359s that I cant quite discuss yet.

Will post more info next month.

Well aware of the difference in tire width between brands and model. Already own 12 sets of forged wheels so I definitely don’t need anymore wheels
