E92 Wheel Question

Good Morning Folks,

So im about to pull the trigger on some APEX EC-7's but i want to double check with the forums on if they will fit.

07 E92 pre lci on KW v2's

19X9.5 et 22 Square setup is what im looking at and im willing to roll fenders if need be

The only confirmation i have that they will fit is on a video on YouTube. Im currently away from home and would like some reassurance so i can order them before i home to eliminate on the downtime.
Your help is greatly appreciated!

What size tires do you plan on running? Front fitment is very aggressive, you will need to run stretched tires and a lot of camber since our front fenders are plastic and can't be rolled/pulled.

Backs will fit with a fender roll.

Why not just stagger the wheels? Run a 8.5-9 width in the front and run a 9.5 width rear in the back.

If you plan on staggering the tires, why not run staggered wheel widths?

Also, those tire sizes are big for 19", you would want 235/35 and 255/30. Coming from a pre-LCI E92 myself, the 19x9.5et22 will fit very well in back with a fender roll.

For the front I would recommend downsizing to to the 19x9et40 option and running a 12mm spacer, otherwise I don't think you will be able to clear your KW strut. I had 18x9et30 in front with KW and I had about 1-2mm of space, I think 19" fitment will be even tighter than this.

I run 19 9.5 front sdc f14s with 245/35/19 and 23 offset this required modified fender liner plus oil cooler vent 235/35 was no problem a 40 profile will hit when turning also I would go 265 in rear so over all diameter stays close

Hey guys i appreciate the help, i realize now that i cant go as wide as i want in the rear on 19's and i changed my preference to a staggered setup so im going to go with 18x9et31(255/35-18) and 18x10et33(275/35-18). I appreciate all you consideration and help, i also used the Apex RaceParts fitment guide for more insight and this happens to be a popular fitment with minimal modification. Cheers! Ill Post pics when i get them on with some pilot Super Sports Cheers!

P.S. Do any of yall run this setup currently?
