also it is et20 so the wheels would stick out a little more and you'll get a little more clearance on the strut side. if the 10.5" wheel was et27, i dont think you'd have enough space on the strut side. the problem is made worse if you are using an aftermarket coilover like KW (which has bigger springs) because it reduces the amt of space that you have in between the edge of the tire and the strut/spring.

We're creating a list of test wheel/tire combos. Has anyone run 295/35/18's on the rear in anything other than the Nitto NT-05's?

Anyone else notice the APEX wheels in the "One Lap of America" article in Roudel?

275/35/18 is the correct front size. You can run that on the 18x10" ET25 wheel. The correct size for the rear on the 10.5" wheel is 295/30/18.

I would recommend the following sizes for your application. 265/35/18 F 295/30/18 R You could run the 275/35/18 front but it's even taller than the 265's, which is not the most ideal when combined with a shorter rear tire. That would be a perfect, direct bolt on setup.

The recommended size for staggered Super Sports would be 265/35/18 and 285/35/18

I apologize that I didn't take the time to read the whole thread however I am considering these wheels for my E90 M3.The car is currently sitting on OEM 19s.
With the ARC8's I want a flush look w/o spacers at first. I don't want my front wheels sticking out beyond the fender well (not looking to pose at this time). I am not partial to the staggered or square set up. I just want a clean look for the ARC8s on my car that will double as my winter and track wheels. Thank you. |

New concave, light-weight 17" sizes will be available in late April. Some are ideal for the E9X M3 in specific applications. The wide wheels will be very ideal for use with Drag radials.
New ARC-8 sizes: 17x8.5" ET20 - 16.55lbs - M3 fitment 17x9.0" ET30 - 16.55lbs 17x9.5" ET35 - 16.95lbs 17x10.0" ET25 - 18.10lbs - M3 fitment 17x10.5" ET27 - 18.95lbs - M3 fitment Improved Caliper Clearance: The E9X brake caliper is located further back in orientation to the hub mounting point than most 3 series models. This means flat faced wheel designs leave excessive amounts of caliper to spoke clearance. Excessive clearance results in excessive wheel weight. Concave spokes make better use of the available space when lower offsets are needed. By using concave spokes we could decrease wheel weight by 1.5lbs when you factor in the weight of spacers needed on higher offset wheels. The inner barrel diameter was also increased to provide additional Caliper to barrel clearance. The original higher offset 17" wheels could not clear some 355mm kits. These new concave wheels clear Brembo and Stoptech 355mm kits with ease. We've verified that the three M3 fitments will clear BBK's on the E9X M3, and the other sizes will also clear when a spacer is used to correct for their higher offsets. All sizes have already received official VIA certification. We received the testing results for all the wheels the other week. Certificate numbers can be verified on the VIA's online database. 17x8.5" ET20 Hyper Black 17x9" ET30 Satin Black 17x9.5" ET35 Anthracite 17x10.5" ET27 Hyper Silver Example photos on a 335i: 17x9" ET30 on 335i with Stoptech 355mm BBK

Holy cow! Those look meaty! I like this. How well will the star spec 265/40r17s work on the 17x10 wheel?

There are a LOT of 275/40/17 R-compounds and slicks (including wets) in that size.
