Aggressive E36 or E46(non M3) fitment Square Front & Rear: 17x9" ET30 (APEX says with 245/40-17 tires and it has been done in USA, but Autoform now suggests using a narrower tyre such as 225/45 or 235/40 instead).
- Popular "Aggressive Street" fitment for E36
- Requires at least 2 degrees of front negative camber, and may also need front bumper trimming to prevent rubbing.
- Rear fender roll required to prevent rubbing.
- May require front spacers with certain aftermarket suspensions, or larger brake setups
- Note: This 245 tyre size is will require rolled fenders/camber.
We at Autoform recommend using a narrower tyre size such as a 225/45/17 or 235/40/17 as this will help noticeably to make this an easier fit.
- E90/E91/E92/E93(Non M3) Front & Rear: 17x9" ET30 with 245/40-17 tires
- Direct fit.
- 255/40-17 can be used but may require front negative camber.
- Front spacers may be required with certain aftermarket suspensions or upgraded brake setups.
Wheel sales are not returnable, please confirm fitment on your vehicle before ordering.

Please note: some tyre brands run wider than others. If unsure it may be best to use one size width skinnier than shown (ie 235 instead of 245 width). Tyre sizes shown are a suggestion and do not guarantee fitment on your vehicle.
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 o
