I am on stock sport suspension and will not be going any lower than that.

Am I the only one here who's LCI and has 18X10 Et25 275/35 rear? With moderate drop?

I'm rubbing and thinking of getting either 265/35 or 255/55

My car is not that low so I was able to pull it off but I think I Wana eliminate or minimize the tire rubbing

Will post pic soon

For the EC-7's, you would go with the 18x8.5" ET38 and 18x9.5" ET35, which would only allow for a Profile 1 front and Profile 2 rear. These wheels would be compatible with your current 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 tires, and would also be able to accomodate the 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 sized tires in the future if you'd like wider tires. The recommended tire size for our customers would be the 235/265 tire stagger.

These will be the direct fitment on your car, but if you want it completely flush with the fenders you may need small spacers. The spacer size is dependent on the actual tires you put on the wheels, as different brands will have varying widths. Most people measure the clearance they still have after they have installed the wheels with tires on it for the best aesthetic look and flushness. I've also replied to the email that you have submitted through our website. Let me know if you had any other questions.

Would you mind sharing a couple pics of your setup? I'm trying to see how the 9.5 ET43 wheel looks. Thank you.

Concave EC-7's look proper on this E90. The 18x9" ET31 front clears a 380mm Forge BBK without spacers and the 18x10" ET43 wheels with a small 5mm spacer and fender roll look perfect.

Apex EC-7 Satin Black - 18x9 ET31 & 18x10 ET43 - 245/40/18 & 285/35/18

[Transport3r]

Im thinking of a square 18x9 ET31 setup with 245/40/18 all around on an LCI E90 Msport, stock suspension. The tires would be regular street tires. Any concerns with this fitment?

The EC-7 18x9 et31 square setup is a great way to go for those looking to rotate wheels/tires effectively and eliminate the factory understeer. Furthermore, the profile 2 face gives you that aggressive look on all four corners of the car.

These are a direct fitment on all e92's and pre-LCI e90's with 245/40/18 or 255/35/18 tires. The e90 LCI has 16mm wider rear track, but the rear fenders were unchanged. This results in 8mm less clearance under each rear fender. The 18x9 et31 can still be used, but rolling the rear fenders may be required to prevent rubbing on certain circumstances.

David, are there any plans to run these as a GB anytime soon?

I've spent countless hours trying to make ARC-8 work for my E92 335is, but after doing all the research, I've come to the conclusion that the EC-7 were actually designed with better offsets for the car, and would be a better choice.

Also, for E92 335is on stock M-sport height (and not lowered any further), I'm set on 18x9" ET31 for the front, but I'm still debating on what is better for the rear.

Could you quickly touch upon 18x9.5" ET22 fitment on a stock M-sport height E92 rear?

I only plan to use PSS tires, and nothing beefier. Would this setup allow for 275/35/R18 in the rear, and 255/35/R18 in the front, at stock height, without fender adjustments?

I'm going for a staggered summer/performance setup, and while most of the driving will be on the streets (hence the use of PSS), I would prefer if we can get the most functional and flush fitment possible out there.

If the above size will not work, what else would you recommend for the rear? Thanks

[bjf66]

Also, do you have any photos of Black EC-7 on E92 335i (non-M), or more specifically, Black EC-7 on an AW E92 335i?

I'm swaying towards a silver finish, but would love to consider satin black on the AW.

So here's a scenario... Hopefully you can recommend an adequate size for me.

i want to use a set of 18" EC-7 wheels on my E92 335i ...but for a winter wheel setup.

I have rolled rear quarter panels already.
I want the best fitment possible so they don't look sunken in and concavity would be great.
I'm not opposed to using 10, 12, or 15mm spacers as I already have them laying around.
I already have the tires as well (i'll be taking them off my stock wheels)
225/40/18 and 235/40/18 blizzak WS80's. (dont mind a slight stretch either so there's no rubbing and so the front plastic fenders aren't in danger of cracking lol)

I'm interested in a set in race silver shipped to NY 11738.


Can you kindly PM me your BEST price + availability shipped to NY 11738

Great speaking with you today.

To review, the EC-7 18x8.5 et35 application is popular for winter fitment, as it is a fairly slim wheel to accommodate 225/40/18 or 235/40/18 tires which are popular winter tire sizes. This is a pretty conservative rear fitment, so if you wanted them to be flush with the rear fenders spacers would be necessary. The 18x8.5 et35 application has a profile 1 face.

For a more aggressive look, you can run the EC-7 18x9 et31 application, which has a profile 2 concave face. This application will accommodate 235/40/18 tires as well.

Neither of these will cause rubbing, and both will allow you to rotate wheels and tires effectively since they are square fitments.

Best,
Ryan
