Apex wheels fitment advice

[Skye 1872]

Any advice on apex wheels fitment issues of these sizes and offsets to my z4mr please



Front 18x9.5 et 22 with 245/40/18 tyres
Rear 18x10 et 25 with 275/35/18 tyres
Car is fitted with kw v3 coilovers

Not sure if it helps - I’ve got:

Front 18x9.5 et 35 with 255/35/18 tyres
Rear 18x10 et 25 with 275/35/18 tyres
Fitted with BC coilovers - when I was researching the wheels it looked like they would clash if I fitted KWs. Fronts are -2 camber with 5mm spacer to clear the coilovers.

Thanks for info much appreciated

I have 8.5j front on 245/40/18 and 10j rear with 265/40/18, lowered on intrax coilovers. No issues with front or rear, to be honest I wish I had 9j fronts, could easily accommodate them!

Looks lovely
What et are your wheels with that set up thanks

Thanks chaps - wheels are Apex EC7 18x8.5 ET35 on the front and 18x10 ET25 of the rear.

I rather like the look of the chunky rubber at the rear. Looks a little 'gt3rs-ish' in my head at least :lol:





As I say I wish I could swap the fronts for 9j but heyho, I'd struggle to get that past the wife these days! I know some of the US guys go 9.5 but I understand at that point you need to be running a fair bit of camber and possibly remove the arch liners. Don't quote me on it but I'm sure I'd heard that was the case....

Pleasure - imo apex wheels are some of the best looking wheels you can buy for the zed - arc-8s or ec-7s both look fantastic (but I am a little biased!)

Good luck with yours - make sure to post some pics when you decide and get them fitted!

Many options there for you.

Fitted these by accident Ed, thought they were over “tyred” but I quite like them now - I see your point on the GT3.

Nice! Meaty is the new skinny.
