After installing springs

My understanding is that even if I do no lowering, it will be 5mm lower with the MPHAS, so I'm not sure how that will affect the rear. The front has a bigger gap, so maybe that is less of a problem, but the dealership did not have an answer on rubbing in the front against the coilover itself and I asked Apex.

Wheels and tires are correct specs. You will need to add ground control camber plates

I've had several people drive my car on the track and everyone has said how well balanced and set up the car feels. I'm pretty happy with everything!

Great setup. I'm planning to get a set of track wheel and tire combo. Thinking about the camber plate as well.

That's the Apex EC-7 and Nitto NT01 setup that I have. This is with the Dinan coilover (HAS) suspension system and Ground Control camber plates. No interference whatsoever with this setup. I can't speak for the BMW M Performance coilovers.

I would opt for 10mm spacer up front to eliminate any possible rubbing on the shocks (there's plenty of room). This also buys you a slightly wider track.

On my 18x10F and 18x11R Apex setup with Nitto NT01 I use a 10mm spacer on front and 5mm rear. Tire sizes are 275/35 and 305/35.
