My ‘17 is maxed out at -1 degree of camber in front on stock suspension. You might be able to get a little more, but not much.

I am curious what max rubber is on 18x9.5 Apex EC 7 wheels with Ohlins and spacers but no camber plates....and I am hoping someone out there can tell me whether or not 265/35 18 tires will fit. (plan B will be to go with 255/40 x18 which I have confirmed will fit....). Thanks

If you are running with no camber plates, chances of rubbing at full turn will be higher especially when you are hitting bumps on high speed turn at tracks. Camber is very important especially when you are planning to run yours on track. I have seen ppl running 280/30/18 all around with camber close to -3. But I have never seen ppl running track focused wheels & tires with stock camber setting. |

Bumping this thread again. Any updates from the OP? Wheels look great I'm looking to go with the same setup but with 265/30/19 in the front and 295/30/19 in the back. I'm on KW HAS and am at the lowest setting 1.2 drop in the front and 1.4 in the back. Curious if you think it'll fit. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Thanks for the info on confirming the tire sizes while you had her. Would you say that 295/30/19 is the max you can run with these wheels when dropped 1.4inches? Should have my wheels soon! |

I would not risk going over 295. As long as you are not fitting with spacers, you are good with 295/30 rear.
I actually had an incident my wife stuck at home at emergency at one winter day when I drove her X3 out. And she does not know how to drive manual... And I decided to go back to F80 comp with DCT so that my wife can also drive in case I am driving her X3.. sucks here Canada Winter. |

So been doing a ton of research and looking into ohlins for my M2C. As my set up will be predominately for street use, with occasional track visits. I was researching alternative spring rates as the recommended rates seemed pretty high and a few around here have gone with lower front and rear rates or just lower rear rates.
So I gave Ohlin a call and their tech recommended going with 70nm (400lbs) fronts (vs. 90nm (513lbs) recommended) and leaving the rears at 190nm (1,075lbs). He stressed that the rear rates were not too high and given the rear pressure and less undulations in the rear, you didn't want to have your rear dampers bottom out. Softening up the fronts would have a larger impact on the ride quality given the fronts had much more undulations. He further referenced that the e9x M3 kit came with 60nm front springs on an arguably heavier car, explaining that 70nm was not too soft by any means. I'm by no means a suspension expert nor have I had much experience with Ohlins enough to understand the technical reasoning, so wanted to get the crowds feedback on the recommended rates above. Thanks in advance!

FWIW - He was far more technical than any of the three shops I spoke with on the matter, and rebutted a lot of what the shop mechanics noted.
