[Ruddigger]

addict Those wheels look really good in 19", but man, 255 is not very much tire for a 335.

[Sfvalley135i]

So unfortunate that they don't offer 19" with profile 3...

Happy to help. For a E92/93 or E90 pre-LCI sedan, the best way to fit a 275 or 285 tires in the rear would be to run the following fitment:

Front: EC-7 18x9" ET31 - 245/40-18 or 255/35-18
Rear: EC-7 18x10" ET33 - 275/35-18 or 285/35-18

For an E90 LCI sedan:

Front: EC-7 18x9" ET31 - 245/40-18 or 255/35-18
Rear: EC-7 18x10" ET43 - 275/35-18 or 285/35-18

Please note that rolling the rear fenders will be necessary with 285's, and depending on the brand of tire, you may need to dial in some negative camber to prevent rubbing as well. Many have been able to mount 275's or even 285's in the rear, it just takes a little work given these fenders aren't flared like the M.

We have many 19" wheels with a profile 2 and even 3 face, however stock is limited as we have incredible blow out pricing at the moment and wheels have been moving quickly

With that said, most of the 19" wheels best suited for the front of the E9X 3 series have higher offsets in effort to get the wheel under the front fenders. The wheels face profile is determined by the wheel width and offset, therefore most suitable fitments will have profile 1 or 2 face. This chassis does not have flared fenders like the M, therefore clearance is limited in comparison.

As mentioned, Addict is running the ARC-8 19x8.5" ET20 up front which is one of the few options for stuffing a profile 3 concave wheel on the front of this car. Most 8.5" wheels have an offset of ET35 for this chassis, and he has decided to run the more aggressive ET20 offset in effort to achieve that concave look.

We did not stop producing the profile 3 face, however stock on all 19" wheels are limited at this time. Soon we will be making the decision on which 19" SKU's to bring back into stock, but many of them will still offer the profile 3 concave faces.

I was told by Matt Cosensci via email the 19" et20 wheel was not going to be made any longer. Thus there's no real profile 3 19" wheel for the e90 335.

[Ruddigger]

The Arc-8's look good while they're spinning, too.

My apologies for the confusion.

Historically 19" wheels have not been our best selling diameter. As a company that strives to provide quality solutions to the performance driving community, 17" and 18" wheels have naturally been vastly more popular. The current 19" promotion is in place to free up shelving space for 2017, which includes bringing in more stock of current SKUs that sell very well, and to create room for the the all new FL-5 and SM-10 designs.

We will still produce and stock 19" wheels in an assortment of widths, offsets and face profiles, however we may reduce the number of 19" SKU's to be more effective. In regards to the E9X 3 series, the 19x8.5" ET20 (all designs) and 19x9.5" ET33 (ARC-8) are applicable fitments which have a face profile 3.

Matt may be correct in regards to the future of the 19x8.5" ET20 SKU, however it is still pre-mature until final decisions have been made based on current demand.

One of the Apex guys recommended this to me in an email:
18 ''Staggered:
F: 18x9" ET30 (Profile 3) - 235/40-18
R: 18x9.5" ET35 (Profile 3) - 265/35-18

I have a E92 331 Coupe LCI
KWV2 Coilovers

Is anyone here running this setup and how is it for you? Any fitment issues? Happy with it?
And any pics?

Also only came across a handful of pics showing Hyper Black Arc-8s when scrolling through. Seems most people go with hyper silver or matt black. That's the colour I'm most keen on, so if anyone has some new pics (or better yet, videos) of them, that would be awesome
I want to get a better idea of how that colour looks.
Also, do you think it suits a black coupe?

19X9" ET38 APEX ARC-8 WHEEL
19X9.5" ET33 APEX ARC-8 WHEEL

Hi everyone. I purchased a set of these for my LCI e92. I'm having some trouble deciding what tire size to run without fender rolling. I believe the recommended is 235/35 and 265/30, but I'm looking at the Michelin A/S 3 Plus which is only offered in 245/35 and 275/30. Anyone know if there's any issue with running this size?

If 235 and 265 is highly recommended, what alternatives do I have other than PSS? I want something that won't burn through really quickly.

Thanks in advance

[BSM n54iS]

Is anyone running a 18x9.5" et22 Rear on a LCI e92? Love that profile 3 concavity but thinking theres a good chance that will rub..

You could technically run either combination, but the 235/35-19 front, 265/30-19 rear is the most common. Running the wider configuration you mentioned would also work, however depending on ride height and tire brand, you may need to lightly roll the rear fenders to prevent rubbing.

Michelin PSS actually have great tread life given their ability to perform in both dry and wet conditions, but if you would like to cheaper alternatives, here is a list of tires that come in the 235/265 combo.

Michelin Pilot Super Sports - Max performance summer
Hankook Ventus V12 - Max performance summer
Khumo Ecsta PS91 - Max performance summer
Dunlop Direzza DZ102 - Ultra high performance summer
Continental Extreme Contact DWS - Ultra high performance all-season

Yes, many of our E92 and non-LCI E90 customers have successfully installed the more aggressive 18x9.5" ET22 wheel with the profile 3 concave face in the rear. The common tire to run is still the 265/35-18, only we suggest rolling the fenders to prevent rubbing. Also, a touch of negative camber out back wouldn't hurt.

Here are a couple photo's for reference:

Front: EC-7 18x9" ET31 Profile 2 face
Rear: EC-7 18x9.5" ET22 Profile 3 Face





Front: EC-7 18x9" ET31 Profile 2 face
Rear: EC-7 18x9.5" ET22 Profile 3 Face

Thanks Ryan I went with the 235/265 PSS option today. Do you think the 19x9 fronts would have a stretched look? I hope it doesnt

Thanks Ryan! Yea I was looking to save myself from having to roll my fenders or any modification to make it work...negative camber part is fine though of course. Cuz I'm running my stock 19" 313 wheels (19x8" et 37, 19x9" et 39) with 12.5/15mm F/R spacers with no rubbing and its just perfect.

It looks like my safest option would be the 18x8.5" et 35/18x9.5" et 33 and add 5mm spacers if needed since I read your wheels will accept and still be hub-centric with them.

Edit: Plus I can still run 235/40 265/35 and get the same rubber down

It is possible to still get the 18x9.5" ET22 with just a bit of negative camber dialed in, but it would come down to ride height and tire brand. With that said, it is not fitment I can guarantee unless the customer is willing to roll the fenders should it be required.

The 18x9.5" ET35 with 265's would be a great way to go out back
