I running on a set of 18x10 E33 Apex's right now for track days.

Up front I use a 12 MM spacer that Apex sold me to get the right fit.

I'm staggered right now but seriously leaning towards a 275/35/18 Toyo RR square setup on my next set..vs 275/35F and 295/30 R

I could be wrong but I think he means there isn't a square set that works without spacers.

I've run 275 Hoosiers and NT01s without clearance issue on 18x10 ET33 with a 12mm spacer up front, aftermarket coilovers and ~ -3.2 camber.

It's been established that this setup fits since back in 2017, despite what Apex says. The only mild issue I experienced was very slight fender liner rub at full lock when putting on new tires. But this went away on its own after a handful of miles.

Good to know.
I think a bit of liner rub is to be expected at full lock in a lot of setups.

That's exactly it.

I'm running the 18x10 et33 set up as well, and there just is too much different front and rear to run square without spacers, unlike my E90 M3 track car which runs 18x10 et25 w/o spacers.

i am looking at trying to run a square setup but need to purchase suspension as well as I assume some camber plates to get to -3.5 at the front.

Was looking at AST's (as they worked well on previous race car)

18x10" ET33 with 275/35-18 tire Apex ec-7

Have ap brakes at the front, stock at the rear - does anyone know what size spacers i might need? Ive read the thread and ran out of talent ...

If your coilovers have a camber adjustment plate already then no.

mcvaughan , what camber settings are you at? And I assume those are 18x10 +33 TA16s (making your front an effective +21). Is that correct?

Those are a nice wheel and I'm jealous of your rear APs ����.

2.5F and 2R. And yes, ET33. Initial drive showed no signs of rubbing, not even at full lock.

I test fit 285x30 square and they seemed to fit no problem. This is on 18x10 et33 w/ 7.5mm spacers. I’ll be mounting them before my next auto-x in a few weeks. I’m convinced 18x10.5 w/ 295’s will fit. I’m lowered on MCS w/ 2.9 degrees in front.

I just finished a 2 day track day on 265’s with no rubbing. Earlier this year I killed an old set of 275’s without rubbing as well.
