I have a 2020 M2C and am interested if anyone in this community has any track experience with the APEX Racing recommended Rim / Tire package...on the BMW stock suspension?

I have read the APEX marketing materials and viewed their fitment pictures and the clearance looks acceptable.

What I would like to gain insight on is:
- Was there any fender rubbing when pushed on track?
- Any issues with the lower profile tires? (APEX recommendation is a 30 profile versus the stock 35)
- Was front end gripe improved with the wider tire (APEX recommendation is a 265 front width versus 245 stock)

I do not plan on running super aggressive tires so was hoping not to have to adjust front camber so I can maintain daily stock driving characteristics.

Appreciate any insights you have. Thanks

For Discussion Reference:
APEX M2C Staggered Recommendation is
F: 19x9.5 ET28 with 265/30-19 tires
R: 19x10.5 ET45 with 295/30-19 tires

Stock set up is
F: 19x9 ET 29 with 245/35-19 tires
R: 19x10 ET40 with 265/35-19 tires

Yes, this setup is perfect. No issues.

Apex also suggests 255/35/19 & 275/35/19 for those that want to run RE71R’s, which is my preferred tire for track days.

Thanks for the insights.

planning to try 265 285 on stock suspension and camber plates hopefully don't have to mould the front liner too much

I've tracked my 2020 M2c twice now running the Apex EC-7 19x9.5/10.5. I'm lowered on H&R springs but I run 265/35 and 305/30 Cup 2's with no rubbing. Perfect fitment. Can't beat them for the value. Do it!

FYI the Apex wheels don't clear the oem BBK option. You will need to wait till their 19" forged line is available.

If u have normal blue brakes or AP racing etc go nuts..

Which H&R springs do you have? Are you running any camber plates? Thinking about running with H&r 20mm rear and 30mm front springs with 265/30 pss in front and 285/30 in rear. Question is if i need camber plates.

Incorrect.

The flow formed ec7's in the recommended m2c sizes clear the 2nh brakes.

This is not correct. See my photo posted above. With said flow form wheels clearing those giant brakes no problem.

You shouldn't need camber plates. I'm running the regular sport springs (red) from H&R. Easy install, nice drop, inexpensive.

Good to know. Must be the ARC-8 that don't clear.

Interesting that you could go to 305/30s in the rear. I thought 295 was max. Good to know. Thanks.

Is there a reason you went to 265/35 fronts vs. 265/30? Was it to balance the rolling diameter of the 305s in the rear? Just curious.

What does a full set run with tires? I'm heading to Laguna Seca on the 28th. I may just keep it as it for now (Cup 2's), but for future track days, this looks like a great option. I love that Apex does the recommended fitments per tire.
