Apex arc8 19x10.5 22offset on 275/30/19 tires or 265/35/19 tires up front.

Is anyone running this setup on 10.5in wheels up front?? Is this possible? Im looking for an aggressive fitment. I'm lowered on swift springs. I can't find anyone on here that has 10.5in apex wheels up front. I see a bunch of people here with 10in wheels up front with spacers so, in theory I feel that it may be possible. What do you guys think? Pictures would be nice.

I dont have the same setup as you, but i am running 19x10 et25 in front with a 275/30/19 tire. I would say my fitment is pretty aggressive, i wouldnt want to space it out any further. i am also on springs, H&R sport.

I see. Your fitment looks siick! Are you running spacers though?

10mm on the rear only.

It will fit nicely with -2.7 camber and no spacers if you have a suspension that doesn't reduce inner clearance.

10.5 et22 sits 3mm closer to the strut and 9mm closer to the fender when compared to 10 et25.

So with a 275/30/19 PSS tire, will I be okay with clearance? What about lock to lock when turning?

I don't know what suspension or camber settings you have. I can't answer without that info.

I can say you might have some rubbing on fender liner at full lock.

Well I'm lowered on swift springs and my camber is about -1.2 in the front. I don't think i can get anywhere near -2.7 with stock camber plates.

Good News - lowering springs do not reduce inner clearance - no spacers will be needed.

You are right. You need camber plates to get to -2.7. That being said, camber plates are relatively in expensive and I very much prefer the car's handling with more camber.

Buy 10" wheels If you don't want to mess with all of that.

So I went with the 10.5 in square setup. Let's see how it goes and if I'm able to make them fit with the alignment pins removed. I will be running 275/30/19 tires.

By the way. I saw your insta and noticed a BLUE E90 M3 that is running 10.5 in BBS rims. How much camber is that car running?

-2.7 front, -2 rear

As mentioned, the 19x10.5" ET22 setup will indeed fit on stock suspension, lowering springs, or high-end coilovers like MCS or JRZ without using any spacers. We've tested the 18" version of this fitment with 275/35-18 tires (same overall diameter as 275/30-19 and found no rubbing even on hard cornering or track use as long as adequate front negative camber is dialed in. Inner clearance was tight, and certain brands of 285 tire may require 3mm spacers. We recommend -2.5º (with 275s) or -2.7º (with 285s) as a starting point and adjusting further as necessary.

I know 18x10.5 can fit without rubbing if you have enough camber, but 19x10.5 will be tough.
Why do you want a 19x10.5 square setup exactly?

Guess I'm going to have to get camber plates then

Well, as long as I get the right tire size it should fit because most guys run 275/35/18 and I'll be running 275/30/19. So I believe it balances out. Also going for that aggressive fitment without using spacers. That blue M3 on slicer's instagram looks noice. I can only imagine what it would look like on 19s.
