Thanks for the info. I haven't ever rubbed with the 12mm spacer in the rear, so I'm thinking of just leaving that in place... I go back and forth.

I don't think there is any plastic liner in the rear?

Seems like I have alot of clearance w/ the Pro Kit and 18" wheels however.

Do you happen to have a photo to show how the wheel sits against the fender?

This is the closest I have

Thanks! Would you say that the wheel/tire sits pretty flush with the fender and not protruding past the fender then? Seems w/ the 12mm it is ever so slightly tucked into the fender compared w/ the fronts with a 18x10 (+25) square setup w/ 12mm spacer in rear and nothing on the fronts.

It's pretty flush with the fender, I always want to try an 18mm but that wouldn't be smart on the track lol.

I run a 5 up front, but that is to give me adequate clearance for my clubsports.

Thanks, that helps!

Can someone confirm for me which coilover system does NOT require a front spacer in order to clear 18x10 ET25 EC-7s with 275/35/18 PSS?

I know that KW setups require a 5mm spacer...

Even then sometimes with a 5mm spacer you still need some more clearance.

I had no problems with Ohlins, even when I went with a swift had no problems.

Thanks for the input! Ohlins are a great option.

We still offer the Hyper Black finish in our 17" and 18" ARC-8 design, however the EC-7's never had Hyper Black as an option. On that note, I would like to see some Hyper Black EC-7's

Completed my first autocross of the season. Had a photographer nice enough to get some shots. Thanks for the help to the Apex team for helping me though the decision to choose the ARC-8's in a square pattern. It has dramatically changed the car, and as a result i was 3 sec/ lap quicker than the next e92

Appreciate your interest sir, and I would be happy to help

The ARC-8 18x10 et25 square fitment is extremely popular. This one looks to be at stock ride height:

2012 Fire Orange BMW E92 M3 with Eibach Springs.

Front: PS-7 19x9.5" ET22 wheel in Satin Black with a Hankook V12
in 295/30/19

Rear: PS-7 19x9.5" ET22 wheel in Satin Black with a Hankook V12
in 265/30/19

Interlagos Blue BMW E90 M3 with 19" PS-7 wheels in Anthracite.

Front: 19x9.5 ET22 PS-7 wheel in the Anthracite finish with a 275/30/19 Hankook V12.

Rear:19x10.5 ET22 PS-7 wheel in the Anthracite finish with a 295/30/19 Hankook V12.

With the 10x10 ET25 ARC8 square setup, so I need a spacer to get back to stock width (front or rear)?

Can you explain what you mean by "getting back to stock width"? Are you talking about wheel width, or track width?

The 18x10 et25 square fitment will be 1.5" wider then the OEM 18/19x8.5" front wheels, and .5" wider then the OEM 18/19x9.5" wheels assuming you have a non-ZCP model.

Spacers are not needed unless you are running KW or Ohlin's suspension, in which case 5mm spacers would be necessary up front to clear the suspension.

With our without helper springs/guides? Or doesn't matter?

03BeastCharmer · 06-02-2016, 08:09 AM

Sorry Ryan- I was wondering if the offset would result in a sunken look and if a spacer would be needed to to get back to stock. Don't know what stock competition package offset is.
