Here are some shots of a Shirmer M3 with those specs:

APEX wheel info:

Front:
18x10" ET25 EC-7 in satin black
265/35-18 Pirelli P-Zero
10mm spacer

Rear:

18x11" ET25 EC-7 in satin black
295/30-18 Pirelli P-Zero
12mm spacer

APEX Red Center Caps








Please keep in mind that we generally recommend avoiding 10mm spacers on BMWs because of their lack of a hubcentric ring. Certain 10mm spacers sold add a ring by making the spacer slightly thicker than 10mm and adding a thicker portion to the first few mm of the ring. This can cause wheel fitment issues if the wheels don't have an aggressive inner chamfer.

Beautiful setup! Seeing the EC-7s in different specs is shifting my preference from the ARC-8 to EC-7!

The APEX crew had a great time at Thunderhill for a Hooked On Driving event a couple weekends ago. Both e46s and the e92 were hauled in the new Toterhome we're testing out! Check out our Instagram for more pics!

  • Square 18x10.5" ET22 EC-7R Polished

Thanks for the post and the purchase! What suspension and alignment settings are you running with these wheels?

If someone can please give me some assistance. I have decided I wanna get EC7 for my e92 in 19in.

Specs recommended by apex:
19x 9.5 F with 265/30/19
19x 10.5R with 285/30/19

So my issue is I don't see PS4s in 285/30/19 but instead 285/35/19 would those still work or should I just bump it up to 295/30/19?

I'll be lowering on Ohlins coilovers very soon. If anyone has suggestions for other brand tires I'm open for those as well.

Thanks for the question! The 285/35-19 tires are going to be a bit too tall for this application and would likely cause some rubbing. The 295/30-19s are a great option and can work well, but you may need to roll your rear fenders a bit to prevent rubbing. This will be particularly important on a car that is lowered.
