Pic request apex arc 8 18x9.5 et35 square set up

[NVthree30i]

I'm interested in getting that set for my e46 , I been looking and only found couple of cars running that set up . I wanted to see more pics before pulling the trigger and also tires sizes , so I can make sure about rubbing issues and also fender rolling . Thanks

Sedan or coupe? Either way you are definitely going to be fender rolling unless you plan to be at stock height. I think there are a lot of cars running that set up nowadays. Although most of them run pretty thin tires. A lot of the rubbing issues have to do with the height you're at though. Because when I was doing the modifications for Brian N's sedan, it was a bitch, but not too bad. Then when I did my coupe, it's was horrible because I was lower and I refused to go higher LOL Both with the same exact wheels/tires (because I bought his setup lol).

tires are 255/35/18 for both cars.

These are the only pictures I found of my car with stock fenders that could be of use(still rolled/pulled):

Then there's Brian's car which I'm pretty sure you've seen (ignore my car on VMRs):

Thanks that helps , I'm going with a h&r cupkit so hopefully it will all fit and work out

Go with 18x9 et31 instead

I don't have a square setup, but I have 18x9.5 ET35 in the rear and I don't even have my fenders rolled. I have 255 Michelin PSS in the back and suspension setup is Koni FSD's with Eibach Springs, to be honest not sure if it's lower than stock but I scrape everywhere so I am thinking it is by a little haha. I do rub over big dips and bumps but it's nothing too bad.

Thanks that looks pretty sweet

damn that looks awesome. I need to raise my car. I run on 245/40/17 18x8.5 +40 and I rolled the rears too

So can a ZHP sedan run 18x9.5 (with proper offset) at stock height? :blink

My coupe can without rolling the fenders, sedans can but will definitely need a fender roll (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

From what I know apex came out with a 18x9et30 wheel maybe that will work better with 245/40/18 or 245/35

Yes that's correct. Only reason I went 9.5 ET35 is because I was using 255 tires, but even then 245s will fit the 9.5 without much of a stretch. My 255 PSS fit the 9.5 ET35s very well. Nice to have options though.
