There are no problems with TC/PTM to run the recommended tire combo. I would not do 285/30-19 up front, its very short and reduces ground clearance and will look a bit silly.

275/35-19 and 295/35-19 is also an option. Or even 315/30-19 rear with a bit of negative camber can work.
I would really prefer to maintain the size stagger with smaller diameter in front and larger in back. Since I got the Apex 19x10 and 19x11 for a track wheel setup to reduce weight without any modifications to suspension, tire compound and fit are top priority. Would you suggest 275/35/19 and 295/35/19 in either Falken Azeris RT660+ or Yokohama Advan A052? Car gets driven infrequently, with almost all driving on mountain roads and track.
The other option would be to go 285/35/19 and 305/35/19 with Michelin PS4S/PSS for what seems like ideal fit. This would get a little more rubber on the road and perfect fit on rim, a good street tire, and a tire that is fine but not great on the track.

No, those have been discontinued sorry. I like the design a lot, even run a set on my own car, but demand was too low to keep producing them at this time.

Customer Showcase!
Check out this 6th Gen Camaro SS rocking 19x11 ET44 ML-10RT Machined Lip Gloss Motorsports Gold, wrapped with Goodyear Eagle F1 305/30/19's all around! This requires 30mm spacers but works as a square setup for track customers trying to get longevity out of their tires!

I love my set of Apex wheels. i'd like to get another at some point. However, you no longer make 19x11 ET35 which worked perfectly as a square setup when combined with 26mm spacers up front. You now only make ET44 which creates a tuck in the rear. Plus, to clear the front struts, you need at least a what, 1.5" spacer?

The reason the ET44 works above is because he's on ZLE DSSV shocks. I think it was a mistake to move away from the 35 offset.

I think you can still get the 19x11 et35 is certain wheel versions but they don't offer it on the ML-10s unfortunately, that's why I went with the above setup which is a rear BMW M3/4 spec. And I should add that I only use a 25mm spacer so if you grind down the strut and also run a Magride compatible camber plate you can probably also make this setup work on a "stock" SS 1LE with a 30mm spacer.

VS-5RS 19x11 wearing 305/30/19 Nankangs

I really need a set of SM-10RS in satin bronze. (Or maybe even a set in 18”!?). When will y’all be back in stock?

Are you doing custom orders for them? I would take 2 sets in ZLE spec and won't mind a long wait.

Looks great! I'm debating the SM-10RS in bronze on my Wild Cherry SS 1LE. Do you have any other entire car pics of with those wheels? Thanks!

This is all I have at the moment. I’m prepping her for my next weekend, I’ll try to remember to get a better one when I put those wheels back on.

They get dirty in a quick hurry at the track!!
