"E46 M3 Performance Street/Track Square Fitment.
Front & Rear: 18x9.5" ET35 with 265/35-18 or 275/35-18 tires
- Popular fitment
- 265/35-18 requires at least -2 degrees of front camber.
- 275/35-18 requires at least -2.5 degrees of front camber.
- At least 5mm front spacers required with certain aftermarket suspensions.
- For aesthetics, 12mm rear spacers are recommended for a flush fitment.
- Although spacers are required, the front negative camber requirements are far less than for the 18x9.5" ET22 listed below, making it an easier, more affordable fit.
- In rare cases, slight scrubbing of front inner fender liner may occur during full lock turns. This typically corrects itself over time and will not cause any permanent damage."

ARC-8 Design
Fit Matters
The right solution for every application
An optimized car setup begins with the perfect wheel and tire fitment. Without model-specific attention to each wheels specifications, maximum performance is compromised. Each size was selected to find the right balance between a clean fit and the most grip possible. The ARC-8's wide range of widths, diameters, offsets and face profiles result in unique fitments ranging from 8" to 10.5" wide. Each wheel combines these features to meet the different brake caliper, strut, and fender clearance needs of each BMW model. Most vehicle models have options for wheels that range from direct-fit to aggressive for specialty applications. Daily drivers and professional racers don't have the same needs, so why should they be forced to buy the same exact fitment?
Face Profile
One design, many levels of beauty
The ARC-8 wheel is available in two unique face profiles. The shallower face provides increased caliper clearance on narrow applications, while the deeper concave face reduces weight and creates a stunningly aggressive appearance on low offset and wide width applications. These two face profiles are available in all 17", 18" and 19" diameters.
Spokes
More than just a pretty face
The spokes of the ARC-8 were designed to be robust where they need to be and extra lightweight where they can be. The split "Y" spokes were carefully evaluated from every aspect to ensure light weight and remarkable strength. The lack of a deep front lip and spokes that connect directly to the barrel's lip create a rigid wheel with even load distribution. These features help reduce one of the most common concerns with aftermarket wheels — bending. Beauty follows function with this extremely popular design, as it adapts perfectly to both flat and concave versions.
Brake Clearance - Spokes
Spokes that work for you
APEX wheels properly clear all OEM brake calipers. Our wheels are targeted at the serious performance-minded owner. The spokes of the flatter faced ARC-8 were designed to clear Big Brake Kits. This is the best and only choice for BBK equipped cars. The concave version of the wheel is the best option
