The 265/35-19 will be fine up front. The 285/35-19 is a bit more risky. It will be close, but you may experience some rubbing with the 285/35-19 depending on the ride height and tire model.

The fully Forged ARC-8R

Unlike our Flow Formed wheels, the Fully Forged APEX ARC-8R and EC-7R are offered with a profile 2 medium concave design even in the higher offset sizes. This allows all chassis to experience the awesome look of concave wheels.

The Fully Forged EC-7R: More Brake Clearance Thank Any Other APEX Wheel

The APEX EC-7R improves brake clearance over the impressive amount offered by the Flow Formed EC-7. Forging allows us to reduce spoke thickness without compromising strength. As a result, the EC-7R has more brake clearance than any wheel we've ever made.

Lighter and Stronger

The Fully Forged EC-7R is significantly lighter and stronger than the Flow Formed EC-7. By implementing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to eliminate excess material, the EC-7R was made even lighter without sacrificing strength.

We don't have a solid ETA yet, but are working hard towards getting 19" forged wheels produced. We will be sure to update the community once we have an estimated date for availability. Thank you all for your patience!

The Fully Forged ARC-8R in Brushed Clear

The Fully Forged ARC-8R offers the same classic look as the original with a far higher load rating, improved brake clearance, a reinforced inner lip, and unpainted knurled beads.

Bigger, Tougher Inner Lip

The inner lip is the most vulnerable part of a wheel, because it has no spokes for support. By using forged 6061-T6 aluminum, and reinforcing this high-impact area with more material, we provide an extra layer of protection against track berms, potholes, and whatever else the road may throw at you.

Hello! We do have a forged shipment expected to arrive in about two months. If there is a particular wheel you have in mind, please send us an email at info@apexraceparts.com with the size, model, and finish you are looking for.

Thanks!

Paging BMW owners in the Bay area!

If you're interested in free professional photos of your car on brand new APEX wheels, we are looking for volunteers for testfiitting and photoshoots! Volunteers will get copies of the photos, a discount on a set of APEX wheels, and APEX goodies/swag. If you're interested in volunteering, please email us at info@apexraceparts.com with your contact information, location, and a photo of your car. All are welcome. Show us what you've got!







If you'd like to take an inside look at what these photoshoots involve, our good friend Blake made a video detailing the process of an 18" test fitment on his F82 M4 recently:

Hello, I am interested in a set of ARC 8 in 19s. But not sure which size is right for me. If someone could help that would be appreciated

I am not sure if I should get
19x9.5+22 / 19x10.5+22
or
19x10 +25 / 19x11+44

Ive seen some with square setup too.

The car is currently lowered on springs -1.4" front and -1.4" rear. As you can see from the pic the front sits higher than the rear. I dont plan on tracking the car, I would like a flush setup and maybe eliminate the front gap as well.

What tires would you recommend ? Thanks !

Hey there, thanks for the question and nice car you have there! If you haven't yet taken a look, I would recommend reading through our fitment guide linked below:

APEX F8X M3/M4 Wheel and Tire Fitment Guide


The 19x10.5" ET22 will be a bit too aggressive in back as that is better suited to the E9X M3 chassis. If you wanted to go with a 9.5 front and 10.5 rear, I would recommend the following:

F: 19x9.5" ET22 with a 265/30-19 or 265/35-19
R: 19x10.5" ET45 with a 295/30-19

For most applications however, we tend to recommend stepping up to the 10"/11" fitment:

F: 19x10" ET25 with 275/30-19
R: 19x11" ET44 with 305/30-19

With stock suspension and alignment or just lowering springs, that above fitment is a direct fit. The only time you will have an issue is when running coilovers that decrease front inner clearance such as KW variants, Bilstein PSS10/B16, Ohlins R&T, etc.

Let me know if you have any questions!

-Ian
