Specs are 19x9.5 +22, 19x10.5 +22, powdercoated gloss black. Continental DW 265/35/19 and 285/35/19. Running 5mm spacers all around. Front driver's side rubs back on fender liner under turning. Rear lightly rubs the outside of the tire under compression. I have 3mm spacers to try but going to the track this weekend so might just let it ride and go from there.

Looks good! Did you tint the tail lights or spray them?

Tint, I like that it's not as permanent as paint. My buddy who did my clear bra installed them for me.

Thanks! I had them pulled apart for powdercoating within a couple hours of buying the car lol. Green is our track company color so it turned out pretty good I think.

I had to wash the brake dust and rubber off the car today before the next event. The car is working awesome.

Here are a few more shots of a E92 M3 in Fire Orange, with our 19" ARC-8 wheels.

Better pics to come but very happy with my Arc-8's (19x9.5et22/19x10.5et22)

Hello ,

I'm going to buy a set of Apex EC-7 10x18" ET25 for the front and 11x18" ET25 for the rear.
I will also buy KW Clubsport coilovers.

Is there any clearance issue with the wheel and the shock absorber ?
No rubbing on wheel arches with some negative camber ?

Thank you

.

The KW clubsports utilize a helper spring, and the spring perch sits lower than most. The 18x10 et25 front wheels will need 5mm spacers to clear the strut. Your fender clearance will be no problem with 275's (depending on compound, ride height etc.), and negative camber will add even more fender clearance. I would go for 275/35/18 front tires, and 295/35/18 rear tires.

As many members have already figured out, you can ditch the helper spring and swap out the spring to raise the strut above the tire. If you perform this spring swap, you will not need to use spacers.
