Looks good. I was hoping you had some pics of the EC-7s or PS-7s.
Thanks for the quick response.

This is the closest setup I've found to what I'm looking for visually as I'd use these for DD and track. Specs for M3 setup below...
F 18x9.5 ET 22 w/ 265-35-18
R 18x10.5 ET 27 w/ 285-35-18
No spacers and lowered on KW V3 Coils.
Original thread linked here...








The 18" EC-7 Profile 3 all around on a Sparkling Graphite looks real good. It's just that it's on an M3 and not a non-M like what I've got. Obviously, I don't want any crazy rubbing while I'm at the track or autocross. My fenders are rolled and my current setup doesn't rub at all. Current specs are...
Advan RS Hypersilver
19x8.5 et 33 front w/ 5mm H&R Spacer for et 28
19x10 et 24 rear
Michelin Pilot Super Sports
235/35/19 front
265/30/19 rear

I was thinking the following EC-7 setup may work for me?
18x9.5 et22 with 245x35x18 Michelin PSS (offset seems too aggressive, but maybe not with the tire slightly stretched? IMO, a 235 tire would be too much of stretch for tracking.)
18x10 et 25 with 265x35x18 Michelin PSS (should work fine based on what I already run)

2008 335XI with 18 x 9 ET 31 EC-7. Fully stock suspension.

Overall, the fit is very good with roughly 3mm between the front wheel/tire and the stock strut. The rear wheels could potentially take 5 or maybe even 10 mm spacers, but that might be pushing it without rolling the rear fenders or introducing additional negative camber.

The finish isn't as nice as some of the stock performance or BBS wheels, but it's pretty good at substantially less money that BBS, for example. Hopefully, they'll hold up and continue to as good as they do now for a long time.

Hey man let me know if this works on the pre lci, i ran 19x9 et 24 and 19x10 et 24 rear with 225 35 19 and 255 30 19 and it didn'trub with even 5 ppl In the car and was v flush I loved it, your front setup is a little more aggressive, i don't know if that's gonna work, rears are fine

one more thing to add, when I switched to 265 30 pss rear they wd rub on big bumps with rolled fendors, 255 was the right compromise

Great looking e90 jwebb335xi, thank you for sharing.

Unfortunately the 18x9.5" ET22 would be very aggressive, and a 245/35/18 is undersized for that wheel width as well. While it can be done with some negative camber in the front and that tire size, you are giving up the wheel protection provided from the tire's sidewall by undersizing it, which we would not recommend as it would make your wheels more prone to bends without proper sidewall protection. With a setup that aggressive in front, you'd likely need at least -2.5 degrees of camber to clear the fenders. Since your rears already fit a 19x10" ET24 with a 265/30/19 PSS, you should be able to fit the 18x10" ET25 EC-7 with the 265/35/18 PSS without any problems.

not exactly what you're requesting but I'm sort of close with my BSM pre-LCI E90 330i.

• Eibach Pro-Kit springs, OEM shocks/struts
• 18x9" ET31 EC-7 Profile 2
• 18x10" ET25 EC-7 Profile 3 w/5mm spacer -> ET20
• Continental ExtremeContact DW 235/40R18
• Continental ExtremeContact DW 265/35R18

I did not rub with the spacer but rolled the rear fenders as a precaution afterwards. I DID rub on large dips with the same tire on Style 219M 18x9.5" ET23 w/5mm spacer, no roll.

I think you'll rub like a mofo in the front with 265's even with some uber negative camber. 235 on my 18x9" is a little bit of a stretch so i think it'll be similar with a 245 on 18x9.5" to a certain extent. here's my setup VS your request above.


what if you got it in 18x9.5 ET35, then added a 10mm spacer?




Here is how she sits currently as well as some autocross photos. No rubbing during autocross either.

Awesome info, guys! Thanks for following up and posting pics along with the specs. This is a big help.

Any user photos for the new PS-7? Mine will arrive next week, so I'm getting anxious.

[chatch10]

Just a couple pics of my setup. Sorry for the iPhone pic quality. Satin Black 18" ARC-8's with 8.5 et38 front and 9.5 et33 rear. I love these rims!

[Expert@ApexWheels]

Great looking cars J-Spec Dan, spencers, chatch10 , thank you for sharing!

We expect for photos to be getting posted soon as wheels are arriving throughout this week and next.

Maybe I missed it because my screen is covered in drool , but can an e92 fit a 255 R-S3 up front with a 18x9.0 et30 without camber plates?

Because the Hankook R-S3 is an extreme performance summer tire that runs wider than normal street tires, you would need to at least pull the alignment pins on your front struts to maximize negative camber in order to use them with the 18x9" ET31 wheels without clearance issues with the front fenders, at stock ride height. If you are lowered, we do recommend camber plates to avoid any rubbing issue though we've heard of some customers being able to get away with just the pulled alignment pins, though this would be highly dependent on your actual ride height.

Took some photos tonight.

PS-7 with Hankook RS-3 v2
Front: 18x9 et31 255/35
Rear: 18x9.5 et33 265/35

These tires do run wider than my Conti. DW. 18" do show my front fender gap much more than my 19". Car is on performance suspension w/ -2.2 camber up front.

PS7 look good!

i'm glad 17's fit on your E90 330i! i wasn't sure if 17s would clear the calipers.

[uce92i]

looking nice!

No issues, these rims clear Stoptech 355. They are also holding up very well.

Just saw this...

Stock XI suspension on 17x9 ET30 with 255/40 Goodyear Eagle GT's. No spacers

Wide and barely fit without rubbing the front struts. Soon gonna be dumped on coils and that's probably when I'll have rubbing issues.
