LOVE the McMaster-Carr book for reference.
The shop Bible. So am I allowed to assume that the back ordered shipment of wheels is now being fulfilled? Please say yes.

Here you go! Will give it an actual wash and remove the 5mm spacers in the rear later when I swap pads out this week

Mineral Grey with Hyper Silver
Quick photos..this was just a fast test fit as I’m in the midst of moving house. These are the new M2 specific EC-7 with 265/30 front and 295/30 rear...completely stock suspension on 2018 M2 otherwise. I have camber plates on the shelf but they are not mounted...I’ll see if I need them or not. Last 2 photos are clearance at full steering lock on front...tight squeeze!

Not sure how aggressive you are but will like to hear your feedback since you will be out there before me. I'm also curious if M2C front liner is more likely to rub since it has the little ducts. I'm using the porsche ducts on mine so those may have to go |

I went 255 specifically due to not having to deal with fender rub since I'm lowered and already dealt with that with my 265/35/18 setup in the past. Fitting 285 in the rear required me to raise 0.5" and then another 0.125" in the front since my splitter started scraping here and there. Will keep you posted, hoping turn-in won't be compromised. |

In the photos wacobipe posted, you can see how tight the clearance is with 265/30. The 275/30 will have 3mm less clearance to the fender liners. This type of rubbing isn't necessarily a big issue, and it usually self-clears over time. It's just something you'll want to be aware of and check on periodically. --Dylan

Apex and all, need some advice. I got my EC-7's in a couple of weeks ago and haven't had the chance to do anything with them yet.
My situation is stock M2C, 245/35 front, 265/35 PSS OEM on the stock wheels with US spec big brakes. I want to track (likely time trial) the car but don't plan to add any camber plates or other camber adjustment to it. The car, as expected, suffers from terminal understeer at the limit. I want either RivalS 1.5 or RE71-R for time trials and the Rivals don't appear to have any close sizes. So I'm assuming RE71-R it is. What size RE71-R should I try on these new Apex rims that a) won't rub with no modifications to suspension and b) will help me mitigate some of the inherent understeer? I was thinking I'd just close the 20MM gap between front and rear to 10 MM but I'm looking for suggestions. Please advise! Thanks! I'll post some in car video when I get the chance as well. I can't wait to get these wheels on the car! TIA!

Here's some track video on the PSS and stock wheels (with pressures as delivered and driven to the track). I was taking it a bit easier on this shorter layout so the understeer, while there, isn't as visible. I ran the longer track (still short) this weekend and pushed harder and the understeer was egregious. I'm pretty sure under the current rules (essentially SCCA autocross classing rules) the M2C isn't going to be competitive in time trials with a well-driven C6 Z06 but it's still fun. Better pads and higher temp fluid will help as well, but nothing (legal for class) is going to close that 100HP gap.
