What wheels are you using for your track setup?
I just tried my Enkei NT03 18x10 ET25 track wheels from my previous E92 M3 and, sadly, they don't fit my new M4. The offsets would have been good, but the inside diameter of the wheel just does not clear the calipers and the brake shields in the front.
What are you guys running on your F8X? Pictures more than welcome |

Apex EC-7 18x10 ET25 with Toyo RA1 worked great for me.
275/35R18 all around. Surprised Enkei's did not clear. My setup above is for steel brakes. Does yours have Carbon Ceramic option?

The Apex EC-7 seem relatively heavy compared to the Enkei or even the stock 18s. How do you like them so far? Are they sturdy? They do look very nice though |

I liked them on track. Looked nice, worked well. I had Apex ARC-8s on my E90 and they held up great. Never gave weight much thought to be honest.

I am going to try both my 18x10 25P sets tomorrow on my M4 with steel brakes.I have a set of Apex Arc 8's and MT1's that I got from Tirerack.The MT1 have a lot more barrel clearance than the Apex's do.I used both sets on my E92 M3 with the 380MM Stoptech BBK with no issues.

The Apex ARC-8 seems to be a nice lightweight option |

Well tried both my Apex Arc 8's which contact the caliper body itself & my Mt1's which have less than 3mm to the caliper which is too close in my opinion for winter use which is what I was going to use these wheels for.So I just ordered some 19 x 8.5 Replicas with some Blizacks for my winter setup.

The EC-7's in 18x10" ET25 squared have been a very popular choice amongst F8X M3/M4 owners that previously had an E9X M3. However, if you'd like to fit even more tire onto the car, the 18x10" ET33 squared with a 5mm spacer in front would allow for larger tires than 275/35/18, as the rears would not be as flush and would allow for wider tires to fit. Added negative camber would be suggested for going wider than a 275 sized tire on the F8X.

The OEM suspension, yes. We are looking to do further testing with coilovers and different tire compounds, in which we are in the process of doing with a partnership with one of our vendors. We will be posting new findings as we collect data.

APEX ... are you guys coming out with a specific wheel fitment for the F80/82 M3/M4? Something wide and light?

Nothing available currently, but perhaps in the near future.
We are currently working with a couple vendors to do some further research in hopes of finding the right fitment for wide tire fitments on the F8X M3/M4 in the future.

We need more fitments!
There are some nice 315/30/18 NT01s that seem peeeeeeerfect for a 18x11" rear tire I hope there's a way to get ARC8 wheels to work. I really like that design! |

I've had a brand new set of 18x10" ET25 ARC8s in my closet for two years. I am convinced the moment I sell them I will find somewhere to use them!! |
