Weight on 19x9.5 and 19x10.5? Will these be the same offsets of the current 18" I assume?

I hope so. The 27 offset on the 10.5 is money. The 22 rubs on almost every tire I have seen in the 295 pss flavor that is lowered. Maybe they will have a 11 inch with 29 offset...even better

never mind on the website it says 22 offset. That stinks. Not sure why all these companies go with such a low offset. 22 is too low on the 10.5 and 25 is too low on the 11. They both rub on pretty much every car I have seen.

really?? I have had 0 problems, (pretty low also) running an 11" wheel with a 27 offset, and am currently running an 11" wheel w/ a 285/35 tire and et 18. <<< perfect fitment. (rear inner tab/support grinded/sealed)

That extra 2 mm of offset helps. The 27 is OK from what I have seen. Local guy just put on 11 with 25 offset and they rub the sidewall. Not much but they rub. That being said I will order a set anyway because they are light weight and high quality

Custom wheel shops typically recommend et30-33 for 11's. No idea why they use these offsets other than looks.

Whatever I'm not in the market anymore, it cost them my business for sure though

I still can't tell the difference between the PS-7's and the EC-7's...can anyone chime in and help me out hahaha

[Dave07997S]

Where are you guys seeing a 27mm offset, I am only showing 22mmET.

What's the price going to be for the PS7 compared to the 19" EC7?

From what I can see, the center on the EC7 is more open compared to the PS7 to allow easier access to the lugs; the center is HUGE on the ARC8. The PS7's center is more stylish with essnetially individual holes for the lug nuts.
On the PS7, the tips of the individual spokes have more detail and machining, but it looks like they're easier to curb too.

The 18" arc-8 is 10.5-27, we were hoping the 19 would be the same offset but they lowered it to 22.

[BobS]

I think the 18's look better personally. The meaty tire plus concavity of the arc8 18 inch wheel is a win win!

Damm to bad...I think a 10.5" width ET22 wheel may be to aggressive for a 295 out back. What do you think?

It is, the bbs Fi guys have a hard time running a 295 and a buddie has a set of volk 37s and they are 10.5-22 and he rubs even at stock height with the 295 pss
The 11-25 although it sticks out 3mm farther is actually better because it angles the sidewall more because of the extra width. There is more clearance on the 11-25 than the 10-22

[Richbot]

If I had to guess id say they expected anyone opting for the 19's would be more concerned with a spacer-less, flush fitment rather than fitting as much tire as possible under the fenders

Good to know..very interested in these wheels.

In order to run 295's on a 10.5" wheel without rubbing you need an et25 wheel. I have tried 10.5" et 22 and it simply doesn't work. Unfortunately it rubs the painted part of the fender in the one area that it's metal (around 10:00 on the drivers side). No amount of camber solves this issue. This is a big misstep by Apex...

11" et25 is a tight fit but it does in fact work. You will rub the plastic fender liner where it protrudes at the fender/bumper. Not a big deal because that is plastic. I'm not hitting anything painted with my 18x11" et25 wheels with 295/35/18 BFG Rival tires. The Rivals run very wide (even wider than AD08's) and I only graze that plastic fender protrusion on big dips when I have fat chicks in the back seat.

You carry more than 1 fat chick around at a time? I find that slows my 60-130 time down by .5 sec.

I will get these wheels for street use when they are released in 19" version. However, I do agree with Slicer, the rear wheel width of offset selection I don't understand why they did that. 19x10.5 et22 is a useless size for the E9x M3 trying to use a 295/30/19 tire. It simply will not work and will rub on the metal quarter panel between the 9 and 11 O'clock position. A 10.5 ET27 would have been perfect for the rear.
