You have very tiny fingers if you can fit 2 of them inbetween the caliper and wheel.

Track/S it looks like you recommended 25mm spacers with the 10.5x18 square 513m wheel setup in the past but perhaps recommend 15mm now? Also curious what length wheel studs are best for this fitment front and back?

Searching for the best source/price on 10.5” 513m wheels at the moment and will be in touch on the 2NH adaptors soon. Likely going girodisc on the rotors.

Let's Go!
How's the piston install. I've got a set in hand. Need to get the high temp seals and some time. Also have all the rear adjustable arms and some bushings, and a diff lift

The hardest part is removing the old pistons but I didn't do the install myself.

I stopped working on my car after spending a full day trying to locate the resevior to change the blinker fluid.

Removing old pistons is very easy!

ApexWheels is your theory that your 18x10.5 et40 forged sprint line wheels might fit square in this setup? Using a ~20mm front spacer (and no rear spacer)?

Would love such a setup if so. FWIW I have not found the 18x10.5 et46 M2 Racing wheels in the U.S. at a price that makes sense yet.

Track/S That 3D scan could be clutch for us, more good vibes towards getting it done!

Disregarding the brake sizing for the competitions, yes. We say an 18x10.5 ET40 squared can work on an F87 M2, but you will need 20-25mm front spacers depending on tire size/model and suspension type. Usually, a setup like this will require -3.5 degrees of camber in the front using camber plates and control arms, but the rear should be a direct fit.

Hey Apex team;

Will this setup work with the EC7 18x9.5 +22 wheels? 2nh bracket + 380mm rotors

I plan on doing a 265 square with -2.5 degrees of camber on stock suspension with plates.

Thanks!

Once we have the brake scan for that setup, we can confirm the fitment, but we are still waiting for the scan. As for the fitment of the 18x9.5 ET22 that fitment will work fairly well on an M2. Clearances to the rear fender might be tight, but you should be able to dial in some rear camber via the eccentric bolt if there's rubbing in the rear. With your camber setup in the front, you should be clear.

If you have someone in the SoCal area that you can partner with that to provide the scan, I'm more than willing to let them scan mine. I have the brackets installed with 2NH calipers and 380mm rotors.

Ideally getting the kit at our shop would be best. We can scan them but also run some test fit. We will reach out if we go in that direction, thanks!
