255 Square Apex ARC-8's and ST-V1's on e90 LCI

blau808 · 01-16-2017, 08:13 PM

I put these on a few months ago, couldn't be happier, finally took some time to wash everything and snap a few pics. The V1's are close to their highest setting.

Those look good!

Nice! 9 or 9.5 width?

It looks to be an 18x9" ET30 square fitment with 255/35-18 tires.

Very clean OP! Glad to see that you are enjoying them, and thank you for the support

Yep those are the ones, thanks Ryan for your help in purchasing and getting the proper fitment.

Nice choice, 255 up front makes a world of difference.

Are you guys getting any rubbing? I'm thinking about switching over to 255's in the summer with my Apex Arc-8 9" ET30. Did you have to add any camber to make them fit?

I run 18x9 et30 with a 255/35/18 Conti DWS06 on the front with a 5mm spacer and about 2* of camber and have ZERO rubbing issues on an LCI E90

Okay cool. I'm just wondering because I have 225 winters on my 193m with a 15mm spacer and I rub when I turn the wheel in reverse.

ApexWheels · 01-17-2017, 06:58 PM

Clearance with 255/35-18's is going to boil down to vehicle ride height, tire brand and other variables like how often you are at full lock etc. The 18x9" ET30 can easily support 255/35-18 street tires without any modifications, however the front tires can slightly rub the fender liners under circumstances like making u-turns or something of that nature. If you can dial in some negative camber, it is encouraged.

Customers running a track oriented compound like an RE-71R or NT-01 will definitely need to dial in some negative camber, but doing so is advantageous for more reasons then just fitment/clearance.

I just put 255/40/17 on Arc-8 et30 on all for corners. 2013 E92 335is, stock height and camber. Tires are Michelin A/S3+.

I have not experienced any rubbing. But I am rarely at full lock. Going to pull the alignment pins this weekend just to be safe.

Just realized this was a e90 question. Oh well, nevermind.

Nice wheels and pictures

Thanks! I actually got mine through a group buy, but it was a lower tier so I think $100 off?

Apex does them pretty often so just keep your eye on it.

keep your eye out, they usually do 2-3 per year for 18s.
