10mm spacers with APEX wheels?

Jeff S · 12-05-2022, 09:53 AM

I have a 2008 E92 with Apex ARC-8 wheels and I am looking for 10mm spacers for the rear.
Some of you may know what a crap shoot 10mm spacers can be.
I am looking to see what brands actually fit the wheels AND the car. I have searched and even contacted ECS, BMS and a few others. I keep getting the same answers, "the spacers will work for for your car or the spacers will work for those wheels." but nobody will say they will fit both.
I understand it is recommended to go to 12mm spacers, but I am trying to avoid rubbing or rolling/pulling the fenders, if possible.
So, what are you people using?
Thanks!

Got some slip on hub centric from amazon no issues. 17x9.5 square arc 8. KSP is the brand i went with. Remember to get longer wheel bolts or studs.....5mm front 12mm rear.. the rear is unused with a 255/40/17 car is a E93. The 12mm is for my 275/40/17.

I have 18x9 +31 Bimmerworld wheels on my car with 255 tires. I have VRSF 12mm spacers in the rear and don't have any rubbing. The front actually rubs a bit on big dips with no spacer, it's a much more aggressive fitment than the rear.

Not sure if VRSF makes them anymore, but I'd imagine any other spacer would work fine.
