Tire rack has an 18 x 9.5 inch square solution that clears the calipers, and they're wickedly affordable.

TR Motorsports C4 is the name of the wheel. I think they're not yet in stock, but my buddy (their wheel engineer) says they're just a few weeks out.

These will be my track wheels, and likely winter wheels too at this price.

What tire/size do you plan to use for the track

He say 265s are the easy and best fit - no mods nor spacers, so that's my plan A

Also says that 275s can be done with a fender roll and max camber in the back, and that depending on tire choice (how big a rim protector), might need a spacer up front.

As for tires, I'd been running BFG Gforce R1s for a long time, but just tried some Bridgestone RE-71R on my E36, and like them, so that'll probably be the first set

Think I'll wear out a set of 265s and let someone else do that 275 development work, and wait to hear how it works out

18x10 et35 with 275/35/18 works great in the rear, no rubbing at -1.8* camber.

18x10 et23 with 275/35/18 works up front with -2.5* camber but you have to trim a small tab where the bumper meets the fender if your car is lowered.

The Apex EC-7 also fits in 18s.
I have heard that the Apex Arc- 8 does not however.

Anyone know if Apex EC7 in 18X10 ET25 square will fit with a 265/275/285 tire?

It would work up front with a little negative camber but will be a bit aggressive for the rear.

I haven't actually tested that fitment in the rear but our car has 18x10 et35 275 in the rear and with a 10mm spacer I'm pretty sure it would rub.

Would that combo work without the spacer?

We run the 18x10 et35 without a spacer with no rub in the rear. I meant that adding a 10mm spacer to mimic the et25 fitment you proposed would likely make our car rub. Et35 works but I doubt et25 would.

Thanks I was thinking I'd just buy another pair of ET35's since the ET25 fits in the front.

I'm running 18x9.5 ET35 with a 15mm spacer up front to clear the strut/ cool springs. 275/35 RE71R and no clearance issues at all.
