i'm on kwv3 and pretty slammed... maybe Apex can confirm, i want the wheels on 255/35 and 275/35 with no camber kits and no spacers and zero rubbing issues, is this possible?
Due to the "bulkier" design of the KW and BMW M performance coilover systems, this 5mm spacer is required for clearance if you plan to fit the 19x9.5 ET28 up front. Tire size, brand, and compound can have a direct impact on fitment as well. Not all tires are the exact advertised size!

Planning to go ohlins suspension kit and removing spacer to eliminate rubbing on arches.
These are the EC-7 wheels in a 19x9.5 ET28 up front and a 19x10.5 ET45 in the rear. We wouldn't recommend the 5mm spacers in the rear, as this is what is causing your current rubbing issues. Running a bit more camber up front would also eliminate some of the rubbing on the fenders there as well!

would love to run the APEX wheels with no spacers if i can get away with it.

CrazyK Looks damn good
As noted above, the M performance system is the same design as the KW HAS kit and does limit inner clearance compared to the OEM suspension. This suspension system does require a 5mm spacer up front to aid in clearance!
