Im looking to run 18 inch sm-10's on a slightly lowered LCI e90 335i xdrive. Can I fit 18x9.5 et 35 or do I need to go to 18x9 et 30 or even 18x8.5 et 35. Looking for as aggresive as possible without fender rolling or rubbing. Thanks!

Your best bet is to run 18x9 ET30 all around with 255/35 tires. You shouldn't rub at all and you could even put a small spacer in the rear for a better stance.

If you don't care about rotating your tires then you can run 18x9 front and 18x9.5 rear with 235/40 and 265/35 tires to keep the rolling diameter within 1%. This will fit perfectly without any issues.

im thinking you would need to roll your rear fenders FOR SURE since its a lower offset and a 10 inch wheel and a 275 tire

Awesome thread! I'm looking to swap out some M style 219 rims I got from a friend due to pretty extreme rubbing and am really liking the look of the ARC-8s. I've got a more or less bone stock 2009 LCI 335d and wanted to find the best setup for a daily driver. If I'm reading this right the recommendation is 18"x9" ET30 all around with 255/35/R18s? Can you confirm that? That's what I'm currently running on the rear with a 9.5" ET29 rim and they rub every time I hit a bump with even the slightest load in the car.

Baby got some new walkin boots!

Thanks to all the guys at Apex! Awesome group and sorry for the shit pics, I've been told I apparently can't take good ones. I'll try and take some proper shots.. as good as I can with an iPhone later.

The struggles of a black car and dark wheels. Which is why I have a white car and didn't go with Satin Black wheels. Lol.

Take pics with the sun behind you, and avoid a background brighter than your subject's area. The camera will try meter the whole frame and that brightness will kill the exposure.

Most people have probably already seen these on my IG, but I'll post here too.

Forgot to post my setup on this thread. Snagged my ARC-8's during the last group buy. Huge shout out to Max for helping me out with some payment issues and shipping out my wheels the day they got their new shipment in (mine were backordered).

The setup I went with:

Fronts: 18x9 ET30 Hyper Black ARC-8 with a 235/40/18 Michelin PS4s

Rears: 18x9.5 ET35 Hyper Black ARC-8 with a 265/35/18 Michelin PS4s

Running on stock suspension, but I plan to do M3 control arms and ST coilovers in the next month or two. No rubbing AT ALL on the stock suspension. The PS4s run significantly wider than any other tire, even the Super Sport, so I was a bit worried I would have issues. The wheel weight difference is actually quite noticeable, and combined with what seem like physics-defying tires, I am incredibly pleased with the setup. Best mod to date.

Yep 18's. 18x9 et30, 18x9.5 et35. Couldnt be happier with the 18's over my old 19" 313m though tbh, much more comfortable and better performance. Plus the finish on the bronze is really nice.

So I just discovered this from Apex's signature. It's worth checking out, if you're wondering about fitment suggestions. Thought I'd post it since I see lots of the same questions posted over and over. I understand some may have additional questions, but this is a good start!
