Hello all,


Has anyone else run Apex wheels in BMW fitment? I found a great deal on a full set of Apex ARC-8 wheels on Marketplace and my searches haven't come up with anything definitive on here.


Here are the listed specs -
18x10 ET25 Square setup
5x120

74.1mm Center bore


Would prefer to not have to run spacers, etc. Will I need to get bore spacing rings for proper fit as well?


Thanks for any help!

You might need 3mm spacers or so up front, no more than 5mm. Depends on what tires you want to run. Also, since you don't have MRC dampers you probably don't have to use any. Those will sit 5mm further inboard than SS 1LE front wheels, as a reference. In back, they will sit 0.2" further outboard than SS 1LE rears, even though they are an inch narrower. That's because they have 18mm less offset. They should work without rubbing, again depending on the tires you want to use. They will be close to poking outside the top fender edges a bit.

This is the kind of insight I was hoping for, thanks so much!

most BMW rims are 5x120.65
GM is exactly 5x120

everyone used to run BMW lug sized rims on 4th Gens.
however, with the power level & performance of 6th Gens, it might be less desirable.

this has been argued to death, but just wanted you to be aware
