Hi, can anyone tell me if apex arc-8 with 25et fit on 2019 M4? The wheels were on an E46 M3 and hoping to fit them on '19 M4.
Thanks in advance

They will fit, but not very well. It's aggressive in the back but as long as you don't do a super wide tire you'll be fine

The F8X really wants a ET36 fitment if you want to go square with wide tires

I have 275/35/18 Hoosiers on there with a square setup.
So no spacer required? Thanks

With a 275 Hoosier you will probably have some rubbing in the rear. Spacers won't help as it's too aggressive, you'd need a negative spacer!

Up front you may need a spacer to clear suspension etc, but it's not likely

I went through this with my apex Arc-8's

I have 19x10 25 et in the rear

What exactly is your rim width not sure what apex offers in an 18 in , there's a lot of room , yes does it depend on tire and ride height yes.

I was super hesitant on the wheel size and offset once I got it on the car I was not concerned at all anymore .

Now if you low… again different story

I dont see why you would have any issue. The apex f80 fitment guide shows 18x10 25 as the base square setup for tracking.
I have a set of EC7 with f80 offsets and widths already. Just got an E46 and getting a et25 setup that i can also share with my f80. Ive been pretty set on this being the best of both worlds with et25. Havent heard otherwise.

fitment of 18x10 et25 on F82 M4

I can confirm that Apex ARC8 18x10 et25 DO NOT fit on F82 M4. The barrel of the wheel will not clear the calipers.
These are ARC8's from about 2010-2012 and I heard from APEX that they increased the barrel in later models so they will clear the calipers.

Thanks for everyones input.

Being that they are 18 in correct they will not they just released an 18 in arc-8 that has the improvement to fit I don't believe anyone knew you were referencing an 18 in wheel set up

The newer ARC-8 18" clears the iron brakes & calipers well. If you go 18x10 et25 you will need a 5mm spacer to clear the shock up front, rear fits perfectly.
