I'll soon be running the Tractive Touring suspension with OE-type springs and Millway Motorsport Street camber plates. Was planning -2 to -2.3 up front as this is a dual purpose car.
My dual purpose setup is -2° front and -1.5° rear.
For small amounts of camber, adjustable arms are required

ApexWheels any chance the newer APEX ML-10RT's would fit? My preferred option would be 18x10.5 square but 18x10/18x11 staggered could also work for me.
We cannot confirm that changing the rotor size can help fit with our 18" ML-10RT's as we can only verify the OEM configuration of the 2NH calipers. Which unfortunately as we know, will not clear 18's. Unless we can get a scan/template for this setup, there isn't a way we can confirm that at the moment.

I'm in SoCal and would be willing to test fit a wheel on the front of my M2C if you're willing to ship one to me to test for you. I have 2NH calipers with Track/S brackets and 380mm Paragon rotors just installed. If interested, please PM me.

Thank you for this. Also curious what offsets are working for you to fit 295/30r18 on 10.5x18 wheels?

That wouldn't be an efficient way to confirm clearances. At best it would give us a single sample against a particular apex wheel. Track/S I've DM'ed you several times asking about a 3D scan file of this kit and haven't ever seen any scan. Any progress on that front?

Once we have a scan of the kit and can build a clearance template for it, We'll be able to check clearance against any of our wheels and design future wheels around the kit rather than rely on an in-person test that confirms data only for a single width, offset, and design.

Track/S Thanks for the many answers and insight in this thread.
Many of us will owe you a pack of beer if you can make this scan happen!

Folks, while we wait for other fitments to be confirmed, I'm also curious who has the best pricing on 513M 18x10.5 ET46 wheels? It looks like those are the forged M2 CS racing fitments.

Found some more info on them here - LINK

Nice job. Anodized?

What hardware are you using to secure the hats and rings?

I would have to analyze a piece of disk from each brand to know which ones are better.

Unanodized, there was no time and the customer needed them urgently, I have used Paragon hardware since they were purchased by mistake.

Looking to me like the end user should get whichever is more cost effective in their region. I'd still like to see the new Australian groups product to see if it is a contender.

Custom brackets and Ti pistons from Track/S and high temp seals and boots from Racing Brake, Girodisc rotors and Ti shims.

Let's Go!
