On the hunt for wheels in M2C-specific fitment.

So far, I've looked at the Apex EC-7's, Titan7 T-S5's, and the M-P 763M's.

If you've gone aftermarket, could you please post up a picture of your wheels?

And please include wheel dimensions (width, offset), suspension (stock, aftermarket), tire brand and size, and anything you had to do to make the wheels fit (on stock suspension or otherwise).

Thanks!

Heh. I'd forgotten about the thread that's linked in your sig. I spent a long time looking at how you'd done things when I was waiting for my M2C to outrace the Covid shutdowns this past spring.

Query: Why did you go with 255/275 on the Apex wheels? In my conversations with them, they're recommending 265 & 295/30-19 tires.

Query: How are you liking the Apex wheels? Would you recommend? They're on my short list at the moment.

I hadn't really considered getting the Apex wheels *and* doing the 255 & 275/35 combination. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on how you feel that combination's been working for you. I checked, and they're spec'd well for the Apex wheel width.

TIA-

my tire selection determined the tire size. since i was going to run the Bridgestone RE-71R, 255/275 tires were my only option. it is more than enough. i really did not want to have any rubbing issues especially with my lowered car.

Ah, thanks. I'm dealing with hp/grip issues, so trying to determine wheels in combination with whether to go with255/35's or 265/30's in the front and 275/35's or 295/30's in the back, and I rather like the MP4S's.

How do you like the Apex wheels?

I love them. I had them in my 135is as well. I like how they are spec'd out to get the maximum possible size for the particular car. Well made and pretty light as well. Staff is pretty helpful as well.

Talked to the Minister of War and Finance today and got cleared to pull the trigger on Apex's M2C-specific 10" EC-7's in Anthracite w/ MP4S's in 265/295-30.

Happy Christmas (and New Years, Birthday, Anniversary, etc.) to me.

I even brought up the MPS suspension "down the road", and I'm still breathing, so that's a plus.

Congrats on pulling the trigger! Where are you located? I have a set of cup 2's if you need but I'm in New Jersey. 255/35 and 305/30. Perfect fitment on those wheels. Ran them on my m2c
