275/35R19 or 275/30R19

E4superfly · 01-03-2019, 05:07 AM

Hi to everyone.

I've read and searched through the forums I've recently purchased apex arc-8's 9.5j front 29 offset and 10.5j rear 22 offset but haven't come across a definitive answer regarding fitment.

I want to go 275 up front and 285 in the rear.
I will be lowering my car 10mm as well.

My question is what would you recommend for this setup so I don't face any clearance issues 275/30R19 or 275/35R19 cause I have a feeling that it may rub the front arch liner on 275/35R19.

with regards to the rear same question 285/30R19 or should I go 285/35R19.

Any help will be appreciated kindly state reasons behind any recommendations as I am always eager to learn.

30 sidewall front and rear.

Otherwise it's way too tall. Research aspect ratio and rotating diameters. It's best to stay as close to stock.

The 275/35-19 won't fit up front as the diameter is too large as mentioned already. A 275/30-19 front and 295/30-19 rear is a doable option however.

Alternatively running 255/35-19 and 275/35-19 works well on the E9x also (which is what I'm running for street setup with 9.5/10.5 wheels also).

A lot more tires to choose from for the 255/35 and 275/35 tires too.
Some brands have a 285/30 rear too.
I'm thinking you may need a 5-10mm spacer up front too.

He should be good to go without any spacer. The 9.5x19 Apex are ET22 (he misquoted it), and they are a perfect fit. Rear 10.5x19 are ET22 also, and also a perfect fit. I'm running the EC-7s in these sizes with 255/35-19 and 275/35-19 PS4S.

Do you have some pics to show fitment without spacers?

I definitely don't want to use spacers...one reason for going with Apex.

Richbot · 01-16-2019, 09:06 AM

I don't mind spacers in back. Spacers in front bother me for some reason

Dubuang · 01-16-2019, 09:19 AM

Looks good, but it does look like it has a little room to be pushed out more. Thanks, I have wheels I have not test fit yet but they're the same size and offsets.

CSBM5 · 01-16-2019, 09:59 AM

Here's a view from a front angle. I've not taken detailed pics of just the M3 with these wheels yet...need to do that. I really wouldn't want these pushed out any more than they are as I don't like it "overdone" looking, and as far as fitment and performance go, these are perfect.

I would run a 275/30/19 front and a 295/30/19 rear. The wheel width you are running will support those sizes quite nicely.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
