Despite being 17" wheels, the ARC-8's can clear many popular big brake kits.

OP I am thinking of running a square 17X10 ET25 setup with KW V3 coilovers, would there be any clearance issues?

thank you, i've been looking for a 17 inch setup every since i've had an m3.

While we have not had the ability to test a car with KW V3 coilovers on the e9x M3, we do know that the overall diameter between the 275/40/17 and 275/35/18 tires is within 0.1", so because the 18x10" ET25 in 275/35/18 sized tires requires a 5mm spacer to clear the progressive V-shaped springs, we think it's safe to believe that the 17x10" ET25 in 275/40/17 tires would also need a 5mm spacer.
17" ARC-8's are a great alternative to 18" wheels when looking for a budget friendly, lightweight setup for your E9x M3.

This car is running 275/40/17 Toyo R888's which are very meaty. No camber plates are required to run these wheels and tires, and no spacers are needed either.

Just ordered a set! Excited!!!
OmairK's user avatarOmairK what tires will you be using with them? i've been going back and forth between 17 and 18 because the selection of 17 seems limiting IMO
I got the Conti's Extreme DW - 275/40/R17's. Really not bad and ride comfort is hell of a lot better. Also replacement cost is down severely. All 4 tires shipped for $790.00!

Not that I take the car to NYC all that often but anything to save me from a pothole and potential damage to the rims/suspension.
Hello I'm doing a 15" conversion on my e90 335i, I've put 328i e91 rotors on, 328i e91 calipers on, used my 335i brake pads, and I'm trying to use my oem bracket but I'm running into the issue that it rubs on the wheel, so my question is what bracket to I need to run the 15" conversion? I'd think a 328 bracket but I haven't been able to find any information on that
