Thanks for the reply, Tom. Yes I'm planning on going with the Essex kit here: https://www.essexparts.com/ap-racing...93-m3-1m-coupe

I talked to someone at Apex a little while ago and they confirmed it should fit with my current SM-10s. My car is essentially a 1M/E9x M3 at both ends but still has the 135 body panels.

The 18x8.5 et35 SM-10s juuuust fit in the front with 3.5 degrees of camber but it would definitely be nice to go to a et40. That would allow me to either eliminate rubbing with a 245/40R18 or, run a 255.
