My new set of SM-10 on OG M2

TheJellyo · 08-30-2020, 05:37 PM

Recently got these directly from Apex

Fronts 18x9.5 et22 with 265/35/18 ps4s
Rears 18x10 et 33 with 275/35/18 ps4s

Fitment is perfect, no rubbing, no poke, running stock camber/alignment on bc racing coilovers and the amount of grip is amazing!

I'll do a full write up once the final parts come in the mail! And will definitely include more photos! Thanks for your interest!

Feel free to follow my Instagram if you'd like to see more photos soon, I post more there than here. @intelligent.soup

That looks really nice and classic on the OG

Tried night time photography the other night

Look great on an AW M2. I will have to keep these in mind.

Here's some better photos of the fitment

Thanks for the purchase! These SM-10s look great!

Are you really running stock alignment settings? Generally, the front 18x9.5 ET22 wheels require some additional negative camber to fit without hitting the fenders.

I'm fairly certain, maybe half a degree more of negative camber at most. I can double check the alignment sheet once I get home

How does it drive/handle with the 265/275 tires?? What made you go with those sizes?

I primarily went for those sizes because of their aesthetic; they sit fully flush inside the wheel well.

As for handling, lots of front end grip; more than I can exploit on the road. Still has a little bit of playfulness with the 275 rear but compared to the 265 pss that used to be on the rear it's a lot grippier. The setup is faster than I can drive now so I can't tell you much more, I haven't got it to understeer or oversteer on the street yet as the car is now faster than me!

Oh I see you went very similar to the fitments recommended by Apex just with lower front offset.
I'm trying to decide which route I want to go with, right now leaning towards 18s. Just not sure I want to do square or staggered.

Yep they had the rear set on sale and their recommended front size wasn't on sale, but this front size was on sale so I just said🤷*♂️ and tried it out. No complaints! I haven't drove the car on squared setup but I like having the added grip in the rear from a staggered setup

Right on. Let us know how it does as you drive the car more.
