Yea...I was kind of hoping that when you came out with the 19" version of the EC-7 that it would be available in hyper black (e9xM3 fitment). I may end up with the race silver. Any timing updates on 19" wheels?

We are expecting the 19" wheels to arrive sometime in the Spring or Summer of this year, though we do not currently have an exact ETA.

This e90 M3 is sporting ARC-8s in 18x9.5" ET22 w/ 265/35/18 front tires and 18x10.5" ET27 w/ 285/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport tires.



Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions.

Price shipped to 25411 for a set? I have the oem 18 tires that came on 219m but I don't know which size tire that is or what fitment I need so please let me know the fitment I need as well and I assume they would work with the stock summers? Oh and if there is a fitment to fill out the wheel well without spacers and that works with the stock Michelins that would be great to know. Thanks

The stock 18" tire sizes are 245/40/18 and 265/40/18. These tires would be a direct fit (spacer free) with our ARC-8's in 18x9.5" ET22 and 18x10.5" ET27. The tires will be pretty stretched on these wheels as they are 1" wider than stock wheels for the front and rear. Our recommended tire sizes would be 265/35/18 front and 285/35/18 rear. These are a direct fit as well for stock cars, cars with springs, and cars with certain coilvers. Some coilover kits (KW Variants & progressive spring coilovers) may require a 5mm spacer in the front to clear this tire size in certain tire models. I hope this information was helpful. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Any pics of 17x10.5 with 315x35x17 tires in the rear? This should fit, right?

We do not have any photos of this setup unfortunately. We are not familiar with what's all needed to run anything wider than a 295/40/17 in the rear as that's the widest that we've seen a customer run locally. The 315s may need some fender modifications to fit on the back of the M3, and possibly added negative camber.

Another classy e92 M3 rocking some Hyper Silver ARC-8's. Let us know if you have any questions, we would be happy to walk you through the different fitment options for your M3.

Hyper Silver has never been so classy on this Space Grey M3.



Give us a call if you have any questions regarding wheel fitment.

Hello OP, do 17x9.5 or 9 Apex wheels fit on a e92 m3 with 355mm bbks?

Also when is your next groupbuy? I need two sets c:

Which particular 355mm BBK do you have on your M3? With that information, we can have the brake template tested against our wheel. We just hosted our Group Buys earlier this year, and do not currently have plans for any in the near future. Historically, we'd host our Group Buys at the beginning of the new year.

Both the 17x9" ET30 and 17x9.5" ET35 would require a 5mm spacer for the spokes to clear the calipers of the Essex brake kit. Is there any reason why you are not interested in the 17x10" ET25 wheel instead? The 10" width would be able to accommodate a 275/40/17 street tire without any modifications, is more flush to the wheel fender, and could be a spacer free fitment. If you are interested, we'll have the template against that wheel for you as well.

We have tested the provided Essex brake template against the 17x10" ET25 ARC-8 wheel, and have found that the calipers clear the spokes without the need of any spacers.

We are not currently running any promotions on the ARC-8 wheels.

are you able to mount & Balance any tire? what about adding TPMS?

Thanks!

We do not currently offer mounting and balancing services at this time. TPMS do not come pre-installed because they can be damaged during shipping, so we ship them in their packages to ensure proper installation by your tire technician.

We currently have plenty of Hyper Black, Anthracite, and Satin Black ARC-8's in stock for your E9x M3 that are ready to ship!

Here is an example of a beautiful E90 M3 with a 18x10.5" square setup and 295/30/18 Hankook Ventus TD tires. This is a very aggressive track setup that requires at least -3.8 degrees of front camber and a 5mm front spacer. Talk about going to the extreme for maximum grip on the track!

Please feel free to contact us regarding your street, track, or race application and we'd be happy to assist you!

Hi, i'm looking for a square setup for my 95 M3. i dont mind going with stretched tires. can you tell me what size I would need in a 18" ARC-8 hyper silver. (concave) Also what would my total be shipping to 33073.

The 18x9.5" ET35 can be used on your 95 E36 M3 with some work done to make it fit. The 18x9.5" ET35 ARC-8's are the most aggressive 18" wheel set up available for your E36 M3. Because of the wheel's concavity, it is most commonly used as a street fitment with undersized and stretched sidewall 245/35/18 street tires. The 18x9.5" ET35 with a 5mm wheel spacer is 6mm closer to the strut than the more common 18x9" ET42 with a 12mm wheel spacer. Even with the 5mm wheel spacer spring perch location with coilovers is very important. The required camber in front would be at least -3 degrees in conjunction with the 5mm wheel spacer. The rear fenders do need to be rolled but not pulled for this size, when in use with a 245/35/18 tire size. The area of contact is the worst where the rear bumper meets the fender so focus on that area with your fender roller the most. The rear camber should be maxed out, at least -2 degrees for it to avoid rubbing. Sending you a PM with a quote.

Hi David, I have another question for you. Does my stuck lug nuts for the 220m wheels fit the 17x10s arc8? Thanks!

*Also, how long does it take to ship the rims to buffalo?

The OEM lug bolts are absolutely compatible with the 17x10" ET25 ARC-8's, as well as all other APEX wheels. The transit time from our facility in Livermore, CA to Buffalo, NY would be 5 business days.
