Apex is the logical choice unless you feel like spending more for fancier wheels.
They offer a handful of sizes, offsets and colors in two different styles for our cars. Some go staggered, many go square (18x10et25 is the popular square fitment for our cars but they require camber plates up front). I used a set of staggered apex for a season and while a vast improvement over stock, I made the switch to square. Have not had a chance to test them yet but I am excited to see the differences. |

yeah that might be helpful since you said " any suggestions " Any other tidbits of info you want to share before you shoot down other options? What are these for? Track? Autocross? SCCA autocross?... is that way you said 19s? If you want 19s for SCCA autocross then I would go with the setup that Matt has.. Quote:
Four 285/35/18 Bridgestone R1s will fit on the rear seats as will the other sizes you mentioned. I leave the Seatback UP and lay the wheels FLAT not life saver candy roll style. Mine are in tire sleeves which helps getting them snugged in. I usually place the tire on the driver's side first... as usually whichever is placed in second ends a little further forward, and I want to give the extra room to me as the driver. Start with one, then the other on the BOTTOM stack before going two high. Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 04-09-2014 at 06:09 PM.. |

(Sorry Ace if this is off-topic, but I think M3Adjuster intended no ill will to you. He was one of the first individuals in the world to report on the 1M (prototype) in November 2010, and has been an owner and knowledgeable advocate for it ever since.)
