We don't currently offer the EC-7 in a 19x11" size, but I've included some photos below in the 18x11" ET25 size. (Rear only)

I actually wanted Bronze, but I was in a bind because I had severely damaged a Vorsteiner wheel that I had on, and they didn't make that exact model any longer. I had been running Apex on my track E46 so I decided to step down from 19" staggered to 18" square setup for better balance, rotational mass, etc.

Couldn't be happier!

I have a silverstone e92 comp pack with black zcp wheels. The polished EC7R looks so good I wanna change my car colour just so it goes together.
Thank you
Glad I'm not the only one that thinks this way.. Currently on Silverstone. Thinking of going space grey or black.

Polished can look great on lighter colored cars. I think polished EC-7s would look amazing on Silverstone, but that is one of my favorite BMW colors along with my second favorite APEX finish so I may be biased!

I couldn't find any photos on a grey car, but they sure do look great on Alpine White!

I currently have 18x10 +25 square ARC 8 wrapped in 275/35/18 Conti ECS. Looking for a more flush fitment. From the looks of it, im learning towards a 12mm rear and 5mm front spacer. I think the rear might get away with a 15mm but im not sure. Thoughts?

You are pretty flush upfront. I have the same setup with RS4s which I believe run wide and 15mm rear spacers , no issues.

Need some help I have a e92 m3 running oem suspension
What is the best offset for a staggered set on 19 inches of the arc 8. I don't want to use spacers. But I want the best fitment that will sit flush with the fender

Hello,

For a 19" staggered fitment, the following fitment is our go to recommendation:

Front: 19x9.5" ET22 with 265/30-19 tires
Rear: 19x10.5" ET22 with 285/30-19 tires
  • Direct fit.
  • Available in ARC-8, EC-7, and SM-10 designs only.
  • Front 275/30-19 tires can also be used a direct fit.
  • Rear 295/30-19 tires can be used but may require a touch of negative camber or rolled fenders to prevent rubbing.

This setup typically does not require any spacers front or rear and provides a flush fitment.




F: 19x9.5" ET22 with 245/35-19 Michelin PSS
R: 19x10.5" ET22 with 275/35-19 Michelin PSS
Suspension: KW Height Adjustable Springs
Spacers: None
Alignment: Factory

I just picked up Arc 8s 18x10 to run 275/35/18 tires all around. Car is non-ZCP, stock EDC dampers, and Dinan springs.

Will I need spacers, or am I all set with fitment? Thanks!

I have pretty much this same setup with Eibach's. I'm running 15mm rear only.

Thanks. Is that because you had to or you wanted to? Just want to make sure I'm ready to mount them when they arrive. I currently do now have any spacers.
