2013 BMW 335is  [8.84]
Let's blow this up! I'm in. Expert@ApexRaceParts Question, I'm down for the EC-7 18x9 et31 and 18x10 et33. I prefer the ARC-8 but wasn't sure with the offsets available that it would work. I have a LCI E92, currently on OE 19" 313's with 245/35-19 and 275/35-19 PS4's running 3-5mm spacers F&R to clear my F30 M Performance BBK and BMWPS springs and shocks. I'd like to run 245/40 and 275/40 on the 18's. Which ARC's would work or am I better off with the EC-7's?

Thanks for the post! Your front fitment is solid. For the rear, both options you listed will work. The 18x10" ET33 is a bit more aggressive and will fill out the wheel well a bit more, although 275/35-18 tires may need a light fender roll in some cases to prevent rubbing. 265/35-18 would be a direct fit.

So it really comes down to which design you prefer. Aesthetics aside, the ARC-8 is slightly lighter, while the EC-7 offers superior brake clearance if you plan to upgrade your brakes in the future.

Feel free to reach out with any additional questions you may have.

2012 335is.

Will this work?

ARC-8
Front 18x9 ET30 245/40/18
Rear 18x9.5 ET35 265/35/18 Or maybe 265/40/18

I'm on Dinan springs, no brake upgrades, -1.5 camber front, -2 back. No rolled fenders yet.

Thanks for the post! That is a direct fitment for your E92 335is. I recommend 265/35-18 for the rear, the taller 265/40 may be closer to rubbing on compression.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Dylan. I'm more worried about the front actually. Have you guys done fitment testing with a 335is with the specs I gave for the front? Or your answer is based on an E92 LCI 335i?

I keep hearing about people rubbing on the radiator and oil cooler vents.

My apologies for missing your front fitment. We normally go with 235/40 or 255/35 with the 18x9" ET30 on the front. The 245/40 is 17.5mm taller than the 255/35, which can indeed cause rubbing issues during full-lock turns. It is also taller than the 235/40 by 8mm, which isn't much but still puts the tire 4mm closer to rubbing the inner fender liner. I would recommend 235/40 or 245/35 front tires for your setup.

All of the above information is applicable to all E92 non-M models.

Thank you. Ordered the bronze, but I'm still undecided on the front tire sizing. I really want 245/40/18 to fit in. Hopefully some 335is owners can confirm. I think it depends on the brand of tires.

Do the wheels come with hub caps?

That's true, different brands can have slightly different real-world dimensions which can effect clearances as well. And yes, all of our wheels include gloss black APEX center caps.
