Need to bump this for a quick question.
Has anyone ever run spacers using the 17x9 ET30 Arc-8's on the rear? Haven't found any results on it. Having trouble deciding on whether 15mm spacers are safe to run on the rear.

^thats what I was thinking too. I have pre-LCI so I have a little more room to work with on the rear compared to LCI E90's.
12mm looks safe, 15mm looks too close to call when I measured it.

You will definitely have room on your pre-lci. I would say 12-15 should be fine.
On my LCI with these same wheels and 255/40/17 Pilot Sport A/S 3's, I wouldn't go more than 5....maybe 10, but that would be pushing it. If I had narrower tires, 10 would probably be ok. Since the lci is pushed out 8mm further, that would put you in the 10-15 range safely, depending on tire choice and suspension set up (mine is OEM sport). |

Yeah I should maybe mention I'm running a 245/40/17 Falken FK 453 tire. Also, lowered on H&R Sport Springs (which sit just a tiny bit lower than stock sport springs). I want to to try the 15 mm, but I might have to play it safe and stick with 12mm lol. Thank you very much for the input guys. It helps a lot.

So Arc 8 17x9 will fit a E90 lci with no spacers perfectly on sport suspension?

Confirmed. Have them on my '09, not factory sport suspension but Eibach Pro/Koni FSD combination. They look great and no rubbing. Spacers would bring them out a bit closer to flush but definitely not a requirement.

I also agree that they could use +5 spacers in the front and maybe +10 in the rear to get that completely flush, aggressive look. |

i have Achilles ATR Sport 2 255/40/17 on my E90 M-Sport daily driver. ride is amazing now, much better than with the OEM staggered setup. you can even use the OEM lug bolts.
here's the link to see how the car looks with this setup on Apex's site (1st pic)- https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc...-Fitment-Guide

if you get the satin black ARC-8's it gives that "low enough" look for us with M-Sport suspension. before I found the ARC-8's, I was going to order the Bilstein B14 suspension and go with different aftermarket wheels to achieve my desired fitment but after reading and seeing that pic of an E90 M-Sport stock suspension on 17x9 Square ARC-8's with 255/40 square I was sold. the fitment, look, and most importantly, the drive is perfect. you don't need any accessories (spacers, lug bolts, hub rings, etc...) at all, just mount to the tires and bolt right up to the car and enjoy.
