I wrote to David recently. They need an M3/M4 to check out and verify fitment and offsets.

Im going to see if my APEX 18x10s from my E92 fit this car. (The calculator showed an interesting fitment) If not, Ill sell my E92 wheels and probably pick up the F8x Apex wheels for the track.

This is true. My plan is to use the stock 19s for the track and other wheels for daily use.

Thanks! So I just remembered I have the staggered fitment, I believe 18" x 9.5" fronts and 18" x 10.5 rears - Apex ARC-8s. Anyone know anything about these?

Looks like for the Apex ARC-8s in this size the inside clearance should work (per an offset calculator). The question is whether there will be any rubbing - the fronts will extend 13mm further than stock and the rears an additional 19mm.

I've purchased, installed and ran at VIR Apex EC-7 18x10 ET25 with 275/35R18 Toyo RA1s all around. Perfect fit.

Do you know if the following APEX - EC-7 wheels will fit my f80:
18x10" (ET25) - 5x120
18x9.5" (ET35) - 5x120
I plan to use them as winter wheels with 255/40/18 Conti on 4 corners.
Thx in advance for your help!

LoL I just saw that jbraslins has 18x10 ET25 all around and that they fit without any trouble... sorry for my "bad question". I guess there is no problem with 18x9.5" (ET 35) in the front.

It is possible that you'll run into brake clearance or strut clearance issues with that offset. Likely not, but the stock wheels are 18x9 or 19x9 and et29. This means that with et 35, you'll be 6mm closer to the strut with the offset, and 6.35mm closer from the additional wheel width. You may need a small spacer - I don't know if there is 12mm from the tire to the strut on the inside.
