Apex ARC-8 17x9 et30 - what spacers for the front?
Hey guys.
I have a set of 17x9 et30 ARC-8s that I want to continue using on my E92 M3 (non comp pgk - oem suspension). I know I should buy the 17x10 et25 for a direct fit but can't do that at this moment. I put 18mm on the rears and it looks pretty good. I know Apex suggests 18mm all around but I am not much into the "bulldog" stance look and I don't like the idea of 18mm on the front in regards to handling and ride quality. I am thinking either 12-12.5mm/15mm for the fronts to try out. Would one be better than the other in terms of handling and ride quality? 245/45 in the front and 275/40 in the rear. I will probably change the fronts over to 275/40s in the spring. Thanks! Here's how she sits now: |

Glad the 15mm spacers worked out! Let's see a photo of them mounted. With 15mm spacers the front sizes is effectively 17x9" ET15, which is only 2.7mm less aggressive than the 17x10" ET25 which we know is a direct fit.
