- 5mm front spacers may be required for certain aftermarket suspensions.
If you are debating between the NT01 and RE71R, personally I would recommend the NT01. This tire is not as "quick" as the 71R is over the course of a single lap, but is much more friendly over the course of a session. The NT01 will also serve you for much longer, as the 71R compound is quite soft and will not last as long before showing cords. Generally speaking, these are very high performance tires and will require pressure checks and rotation between events to ensure even wear, maximum performance and longevity.

This is the exact setup that I've run on my 2016 M4 since August 2016, Apex EC-7 wheels and Nitto NT01 tires, based on the blog that Apex did about the best fit for wheels and tires on the M4. I have Ground Control camber plates and Dinan HAS. I did not need spacers. I do between two and four track weekends per year and everything has performed extremely well.
This setup works so well that we ordered the identical setup for my wife's 2018 M3. The wheels are arriving on Monday (after being ordered at the beginning of January). We have a 2-day track weekend coming up in two weeks and a 3-day weekend a couple of weeks after that in April.
