E90 LCI: 18x9.5 +35 - 235/40/18 [F] and 255/35/18 [R]

Thinking about joining the Apex Group Buy for a set of (4) ARC-8 18x9.5 +35 mainly due its Profile 3 concaveness

Would anyone be able to confirm whether 235/40/18 [Front] and 255/35/18 [Rear] would fit on an E90 LCI.

I'm currently on stock non-sport suspension but looking to lower either with Eibach/H&R springs or coilovers

TIA!

Yes it will fit. I had that exact setup at front. About 2mm gap to stock shocks inside, if you change to coilovers you probably need 5mm spacer to clear inside. I used the 5mm spacer just because i wanted. Some have said that some different wheel at size 18x9.5 et35 have been hitting inside, but i know 3 different E90 with that size Apex front without issues.

As for rear go with 265/35/18, it matches the front diameter better. Here is one LCI with that size rear http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...35&postcount=1

Do you have stock front camber or not?

I'm planning 8.5J ET15 with M3 arms (-0.7 degree camber) and M-sport suspension (maybe with SP lowering perches). Tyre will be 225\40 or 235\40.
Rear will be 9.5J ET22 with 255\35 or 265\35.
Do you think it will be OK on front?
P.s. non LCI.

Yes i think i had stock camber. Currently i have -1 degree with 18x9.5 et22 and 225/40/18. In your case i wouldn't go any wider than 225/40/18. Here is one with 18x8.5 et15 and 225/40/18. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=847861

At rear you most likely need fender roll. You can use 255 or 265 both will fit. 255/35/18 matches front better.
