I'm finding that ever since I went to a 285/35/19 rear setup on my current set of wheels, I'm not having any issues managing the torque of my car. IS it possible to go with a 285 square 18inch setup? or even better, to get super meaty, a 285/40/18 square setup? If not, my current 19inch forged wheels are lighter than your 18s and I'd probably just keep my setup. I feel like going with 275/35/18 square will basically give me a smaller total wheel diameter setup than what I currently have. Thoughts? |

That's a good question. 285 is a bit aggressive and may require additional modifications to fit. The 19x10" ET25 is 2.7mm more aggressive in the rear than your current setup, and 3.4mm more aggressive in the front. so you'd need to make sure you have the clearance available. 285s will also increase the front spacer requirement with Damptronic coilovers. Given the more aggressive offset, the taller sidewall of a 275/40-18 would only make fitment more difficult, which is why we recommend the 275/35-18 in this scenario. The reduction in overall diameter is about 4.8% or 32.4mm. This will trade a reduced top speed in each gear for a noticeable bump in acceleration. Ultimately it comes down to what your priorities are for the car. 285 square can be done, but it'll definitely take some work. Hope this helps! --Dylan

What work would need to be done? I currently have -2.5 camber in the front and -2 in the rear. Car is not slammed as well but flush in the rear and 1 finger in the front. |

The rear will likely be less of an issue since we know 275/35-18 fits without a problem. Only a light fender roll or slight negative camber adjustment may be required. However in most cases, tire compound makes far more of a difference than the width itself, so it might be worth just finding a more appropriate tire and avoiding the extra work of stuffing 285s up front. But hey that's all part of the fun. --Dylan

I took a couple real world pics of how the 19x10 ET25 front & rear SM-10s in Anthracite look on a completely stock M3 ZCP with 275/35/19 Pilot Sport 4S tires.

I was like I don’t remember taken those pictures, then remembered you had the same color as me. I am biased, but they look great.

Hmmm after looking at all the photos, I think I’ll just go with an aggressive staggered setup in 18s.
Anyone in SoCal with 18 inch Apex wheels want to trade wheels with me? I currently have 19 inch Titan7 ts5 forged wheels. |

It is the opposite. The greater the offset, the more inboard the wheel is.

Few pics from the racetrack with EC7’s satin black 18x10 ET25 square. I’m thinking about getting 18x10.5 square, do you have such wheels for the F80? Which ET do I need to get to be able to run 10.5 square front and rear without clearance issues?
I'm on Eibach lowering springs, otherwise stock suspension. upload pic Last edited by AMOR; 10-10-2019 at 05:52 PM.. |

My 19" SM-10's wrapped in 275/305 MP4S.
Looking to slightly lower with either Eibach or Macht Schnell. Can anyone with that setup comment on rubbing? Thanks!

Anyone have photos of EC-7's in gunmetal, bronze, and silver on a Lime Rock Grey M3/4? Debating if gunmetal will look good.

Enkei doesn't make RPF1s in F80/F82 sizes. The RPF1 that fits BMWs come in 18x8.5 et40. So you'd need a massive spacer to mount that on an M3 which makes the weight savings a wash. And after all that, you'll have skinny wheels with skinny tires. And I'm not even sure if they would clear the F80's massive brakes. No one's mounted RPF1s on an F80 and for good reason; they're too small. These Apex wheels come in the appropriate sizes to maximize tire widths for BMW platforms. Their flow form wheels aren't the lightest wheels but they're not heavy either. They have recently introduced a fully forged line of wheels for extra weight savings. But they're main objective is to make wheels that can take lots of abuse before failure; weight comes after that. They definitely are dependable wheels and they have the track record to prove it. |
