I'm looking to order a staggered set likely with the following specs and just wanted to see it should work

265/30/19 front and 285/30/19 rear (likely Michelin PS4S)
19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +45
Lowered on M-performance coilovers and running -2 camber
That will fit perfectly. The rear tire and wheel combo are known to work.

Front combo will be fine w/-2 camber. I have same but 9.5 +13 on 265/30 MP4S and -2.5 camber. Only rub at full lock (parking) on fender liner.

DanG has commented on the forum that it may be the reason for his car having a better steering feel.

Any other benefits?
It depends on the actual models of tires you choose as well as certain tire models are going to run wider than others even in the same listed 255/275 sizes. If you are going to be running aggressive 200TW or lower tire compounds, the wider wheels would provide a bit more sidewall support for track driving. The wider wheels also give you the option to go with wider tires in the future if you decide to.

If on the other hand this is a street setup and those sizes are as wide as you want to go, the 19x9 ET30, 19x10 ET40 fitment is a great choice. You could also pick this staggered set up and then run 19x10 ET40 square in the future with front spacers + camber plates for a track setup by simply picking up 2 extra 19x10 ET40 wheels.

Sorry I missed this comment. Here are the fitment specs for that Hockenheim car:

APEX Wheels EC-7RS in Brushed Clear
19x9.5" ET28 with 275/30-19 Michelin PS4S
19x11" ET44 with 305/30-19 Michelin PS4S

APEX Wheels VS-5RS in Brushed Clear
19x9.5" ET28 with 275/30-19 Michelin PS4S
19x11" ET44 with 305/30-19 Michelin PS4S

The car is lowered on BC coilovers. We did note some rubbing in the rear with the 11 inch wheels and his extremely low ride height. His camber specs: -3.5 front and -3 rear.

Feature thread for this car coming soon!

Your fitment may need a touch more than -2° of camber up front with the square upper "shoulders" of the Michelins.

Group Buy international shipping calculations are difficult to do outside of GangUp. We apply a flat $75.00 USD discount to whatever the market shipping rate is for international orders, but the fitment you order has a large impact on that rate. I just clarified a shipping price to Toronto for a corvette Group Buy order that was ~$170.00 after the rebate, but those were wider heavier wheels.

I would declare your interest on GangUp and enter your address during that process. That will give you an accurate shipping quote based on the fitment you're interested in with the Group buy discount applied already.

One thing to note: this shipping price does not include importation taxes. Those are collected by UPS when the order enters the country and vary depending on your specific location. We can't typically calculate those ahead of time but Candian importation taxes are typically somewhere between 10 and 15% of the order total.

With 22 days left in our ongoing 19” Group Buy, we wanted to feature a few non-M 3 and 4 series on our 19x9 ET30 VS-5RS wheels. This is the least aggressive width and offset that we are launching during this Group Buy making it an excellent OEM+ option for front M-car fitment or square fitments on non-M 3 & 4 series detailed below.

Wheels: 19x9 ET30 VS-5RS in Brushed Clear Front & Rear
Tires: 245/35-19 Michelin PS4S

The wheels will come with our Black Apex centercaps as standard with every order free of charge. If you need to order a second set of those caps, please let us know via GangUp and we can get those added to your pledge manually.

Opinions on the best colour for HS? I've never liked brushed clear but it just looks right in this pic.

Would like to see anthracite on HS.

I don't think we have any internal photos of Anthracite on HS, but here are a few customers running our flow formed wheels in Anthracite from our gallery thread:

A shame this drop didn't have the bronze wheels, would love those on my m2!

So what's the difference really running this:
19x11" ET44 with 305/30-19 Michelin PS4S

Versus the 19x10,5 ET45 in the rear? The latter only fits 295's? Less camber required?

Any experience (pictures) with the M2comp with the MPE coilovers at factory setting, using the VS-5RS in the sizes 19x9.5 ET 28 and 19x10.5 ET45 with the Cup2 connect in the sizes 265/30/19 and 295/30/19 wrapped around it ?

Reason for asking is that with certain fitments, the Cup2 tires could start ballooning....

Thanks

The 11" wheels better support 305/30-19 tires or 295/30-19s that run especially wide. Depending on the final tire selection, rubbing on the inner liners or outer fenders may occur with the 11" rear wheel. The 19x10.5s on the other hand will be a direct fit in the rear with nearly all 295/30-19s on the market, but don't provide as much support for wider tire options in the future if you decide to get more serious.

I haven't yet seen anything with the Cup 2s using that specific offset and suspension combination. I can guarantee that you won't find any VS-5RS photos with those tires and suspension in a 19" diameter as these wheels haven't been released yet so the sample sets with the PS4S are the only photos we'll have for a while.

The M2 I linked earlier on SM-10s was running these tires with the ET28 wheels and M Performance suspension without issues, but the Potenza's he had likely aren't as wide as the Cup 2s.

One other data point we saw was the M performance coilovers on this car:

https://flic.kr/p/2mGGcRy

We mounted a 18x10 ET25 with a 275/35-18 for the photoshoot and reportedly didn't have any rubbing issues. This is just over 3mm closer to the strut than the 19x9.5 ET28, but a photoshoot isn't the ideal way to test inner clearances without tire flex so it isn't a superb reference point. I wish I had a more clearcut answer for this specific kit, but right now it seems like most 265/30-19s on the 19x9.5 et28 will clear, but some wider options may need smaller 5mm front spacers.
