Apex EC-7 OEM Fitment Options

Hi all,

I'm currently running 788m wheels with OEM sized PS4S tires. The suspension is completely stock. I'm really happy with the performance of the setup, but I'm not too fond of the appearance, weight, and cleaning difficulty of the 788m. The previous owner also added some bad curb rash to make things worse.

I was thinking of upgrading to the Apex EC-7, however they only have an OEM fitment for the front (19x9" ET30). It looks like there is a proper fitment for the rear if you step down (19x9.5" ET33) or up (19x10.5" ET45) in wheel width.

Based on wheel width recommendations from the manufacturer, the sweet spot for a 265/35 19 is a 9.5" wheel. So I was wondering if anyone has actually tried this setup or has an alternate configuration they recommend?

TLDR
Good or bad idea?
19x9" ET30 Front with 245/35 19 (OEM)
19x9.5" ET33 Rear with 265/35 19 (OEM)


Thanks!

Thanks!
Second option is the one I'd go with, 19x9.5 ET33 is a great option for the OE tire since we don't have a 19x10 ET40 on the flow formed side of things. yet.
