I’m actually going to try a 10mm spacer on the rear and run et 35 10.5 x19 with stock then I’ll probably fit 285/35 and remove the spacers, I’m running 22 fronts

It's the best fitment I've seen though, if I'm honest. Stock tires too.
the ET22s will need additional camber if you go above 245 I suspect, I have Millways on order and have yet to drive any distance to see how they work with 245s, camber will reduce the slightly aggressive fitment visually as well. I am running about 1.8 degrees I think and will move to nearer 2.5, possibly 2.25

I will try 10m spacers on the back with 10.5 et45s, which is less aggressive than et25 with 10" rims

That's correct, but I won't be going above 245. It's fitment I'm after, not track wheels.

I think they will be okay with no camber plates and 245s I’ve not driven more than a few miles and was fine I’ll do a longer trip shortly

these look really good. I wonder if I can get away with them as winter wheels with a 35 aspect tire.

I'm sticking with 35 profiles, 245 and 265 35's at the moment and will move to 255/275 35's possibly 255/285 35.

I don't want to run 30's personally

The ET22s are also a great choice if you are running aftermarket suspension that limits inner clearance and want to avoid using a spacer with the 19x9.5 ET28s. They do require additional negative camber when running wider tires though.

We recently launched our M2 Competition fitments in our SM-10 design as well to give our customers more options on the design front for this fitment. Those wheels are in stock and can be viewed here: https://www.apexraceparts.com/store/..._diameter=%2C6

The fitments mirror our EC-7 M2 Competition fitments with 19x9.5 ET28 for the front and 19x10.5 ET45 for the rear. We've also released a 19x9 ET30 EC-7 wheel for the first time for those looking for a narrower front wheel or a square winter wheel option that still clears the 2NH brake package.

Tom, hi

I will be fitting Milway Camber plates and expect to settle on around 2.25-2.5 of negative camber. I think this will pull the top mounts in by 5-10mm and add about 4-6mm outer arch clearance if my scruffy pythagoras still works !

We haven't tested this setup with taller tires, so we'd love to hear your feedback when you move to the 255/35s up front. The amount of total camber you will need will also vary depending on the specific model of tire as some tires run wider than others within the same listed size.

I ordered 19x9.5 et28 and 19x10.5 et45 EC7.

Will I be able to fit OEM PSS (245/35, 265/35) fine without any additional negative camber (will max out what the car can give, no plates atm)? Running on Ohlins pretty low right now but can raise height a bit.

Any thoughts of a group buy for those new sm-10's for the M2C? I've been waiting since last fall for them to be released!

150 miles trip an on the motorway, zero issues. I checked my camber I am currently -1.75 degrees with no camber plates. I will add another 0.5 degrees and this will pull the tyre in by about 4mm at the arch. So I have no doubt 255s will be fine with -2.25 degrees of camber et22 9.5x19

This isn't a fitment we've tested on stock suspension or with coilovers on a lowered car like yours. The front tire is taller than our standard recommended 265/30-19, but obviously significantly narrower. The tire will sit in a very similar area to the stock setup with the new wheels as their offset is similar, though they are a half-inch wider. The OE tires are going to be quite stretched both front and rear and will lack sidewall support. While they will probably be fine for street driving, this setup would not be ideal on track.

One thing to keep in mind is that your Ohlins coilovers may limit inner clearance up front. You may need to run a 5mm spacer to provide enough clearance on the inner edge for the wider wheels especially if you go to wider 265/30-19 tires in the future. The spacer will move the wheel outboard and the tire closer to your outer fender. Depending on your ride height, this may cause rubbing which you can alleviate with additional negative camber up front.

Nothing planned for them at the moment. We are struggling to keep our wheels in stock currently and weren't able to bring over enough of these M2C wheels over to run a Group Buy on without immediately selling out of them.

From my experience so far running 19x9.5 et22 and 19x10.5 et45 I can say you really should have zero problems with arch clearance. I am now running 3mm rear spacers as the et45 brings the track in by 5mm over stock (accepting the wheel has grown by 12.5mm so the outer edge with 3mm spacers is 4mm further out than stock) You will have loads of room at the back

I would recommend you assess the inside of your coilovers. with AST based Litchfield I would not have fitted et 28 as my inner clearance was not enough to have the wheel come in any further, it would have touched the smaller spring with the tyre with et28 as the tyre would have come in by 7mm from stock

If you check your front camber then you will see if you will be okay without camber plates (I seem to be 100% okay running stock tyres and no camber plates and et22) my camber lowered without plates is -1.75 degrees

Is there any plan to release an FL-5 for M2C fitment? I'd jump on those the first second they were available.

For the M2C we recommend the following sizes:

Front: 19x9.5" ET28 with 265/30-19 tires
Rear: 19x10.5" ET45 with 295/30-19 tires

-5mm front spacers or larger may be required with certain aftermarket suspensions
-Front negative camber recommended if using aggressive tire compounds.

The M2C wheels were really designed with wider tires in mind but we did have to compensate for that by using the shorter 30 aspect ratio to prevent rubbing. We haven't tested the taller/narrower setups. I'm sure you can make them work, but you may get rubbing during compression and may need alignment adjustments et c.

No plans for M2C Fl-5 fitments currently. We don't produce the FL-5 in a 19-inch diameter currently so that would require the introduction of a whole new line of wheels with the engineering and production changes that come along with that. Its a project on a different scale compared to adding 2 SM-10 fitments, so I wouldn't expect it anytime soon. We will definitely be bringing some 19" forged options to the M2C space soon though.

Going need to do more research to see if 265/35/19 and 295/30/19 combo is a possibility with the Ohlins R&T.
Did you find an answer with respect to that setup? I've been digging into the same issue, and have been told it comes down to 2 things: trial and error. If anyone else has tried it, I'd love to hear from you!
