Solid! What wheel specs did you go with? Specifically, the width and offset

Are you planning to come to the 50th M celebration events next month at the Perf Center/CCA Foundation (or are you local to the Greenville area)? There's also a 50th year of M cars and coffee that Sunday at the CCA HQ in Greer. I'm interested in seeing the wheels in person. They look fantastic, and from an engineering standpoint, I'm really impressed with how Apex has designed them.

RF-GT4 offsets/sizes for the M2C:

Rear - 19"x10.5" ET+44
Front - 19"x9.5" ET+25

About 1-2 months back, I lowered my beast w/ Bilstein B16 and would prefer to not use spacers. I reckon putting these Apex on would equate to having ~ 10mm spacer up front and 5mm in the rear with stock 788s? Tyres are the stock MPSSs

PS my drop heights are whacked right now (indy shop mistake) as I don't have that 5 delta split (current = 595F, 610/R), but plan on having the shop adjust them to something 600F/605R…would help not scrape anything, and bump up tyre size by 1
In the other Sprint Line thread, a recent post says he needed spacers to clear the bilsteins. Same wheels specs as the OP here.

Not sure we will make it to the 50th. We’ve been traveling a good bit and headed into the mountains next month. I’d like to go though, my wife and I have done the M school and it was a blast! Cool place.

When is the event?

I’m in the a Pawleys Island area.

They are very nice wheels. Happy with them.

It depends on the widths and offsets you select. A number of these wheels are available in lower offsets that would allow you to not run spacers with Bilsteins but if you're going with a wider wheel in a lower offset, you may need to dial in additional negative camber up front via aftermarket camber plates. Notes on the various options and tire recommendations here: https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc...-Fitment-Guide

These look amazing, I ordered them as well! I think the Apex VS-5RS look better than the 763m because of the machined flange on each spoke. It adds a 3 dimensional depth to the wheel that gives it a more aggressive look when the light hits it. The 763m spokes look pencil thin.

I’ve been looking into getting a set of VS5RS, but curious if anyone (who may have this similar setup) knows if rubbing can occur with the following specs:

Front:
19x9.5 et22

Tire:
Michelin PS4s (265/35/19)

Suspension:
M Performance (set at highest setting to prevent lip scraping)

I’m thinking et22 so that I can avoid running 5mm spacers.
Im really trying to avoid getting camber plates, so if anyone has a similar setup or knows if it won’t rub, lmk!! Can’t wait to get a set of these.

I’m also interested to know if this tire size, originally specified for the rear only, can also be used on the front with sufficient camber and ride height adjustment.

Yes, it rubbed at full lock. I put a couple of thousand miles on it, and it never wore down. So I ended up getting a heat gun and sorted it out with a little bit of effort.

How does brake dust look on these wheel compared to anthracite and black? Would they pass as clean for a few days? The 788s look horrible almost immediately.
