Refer to vehicle specific fitment guide
- "E90/E92 (non M3) Front & Rear: 18x9" ET30 or ET31 with 255/35-18 tyres
- Direct fit.
- 335is models may experience slight tire contact on front fender liner during full-lock turns.
- Popular fitment
- 5mm front spacers may be required with certain aftermarket suspensions, see below."
- "E36 and E46(non M3) Front & Rear 18x9" ET31 with 245/35-18 tyres
- Requires at least 2 degrees of front negative camber.
- May require front spacers with certain aftermarket suspensions, see below.
- May require front bumper trimming to prevent rubbing.
- Requires rolled rear fenders to prevent rubbing."
- NOTE very aggressive fitment: a narrower tyre will make this a lot easier fit.
- Autoform suggest using a more narrow tyre such as a 225/40/18 as fitment becomes a lot easier, and requires less fender work to prevent rubbing.

EC-7 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, maximum performance is compromised. Each size was selected to find the right balance between a clean fit and the most grip possible. The EC-7's wide range of widths, diameters, offsets and face profiles result in unique fitments ranging from 8.5" to 11" wide. Each wheel combines these features to meet the different brake caliper, strut, and fender clearance needs of each BMW model. The EC-7 offers most vehicle applications a range from direct-fit to extremely aggressive. 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 EC-7 wheel is available in three increasingly-concave face profiles; The shallowest face provides increased caliper clearance on narrow applications, while the deepest concave face reduces weight and creates a stunningly aggressive appearance on low offset and wide-width applications. The APEX EC-7 design offers these 3 face profiles in both 18" and 19" sizes.
Spokes
More than just a pretty face
The curved spokes of the EC-7 serve many purposes, both in terms of form and function. The split "Y" spokes were carefully evaluated from every aspect to ensure light weight and remarkable strength. Their curved design increases brake calipers in almost every application, allowing the EC-7 to fit where the ARC-8 design simply cannot. The unique curvature of each face profile reduces center pad material as they are optimally selected for each unique width and offset. The lack of a deep front lip and spokes that connect directly to the barrel's lip, producing a rigid wheel with even load distribution.
Brake Clearance - Spokes
Spokes that work for you
If the spokes of a wheel don't clear your brake calipers, then the wheel can't be used at all. We made sure all 18" APEX EC-7 wheels can properly
