Just installed my EC-7 with 1 series specific wheels.

18x8.5 +45
18x9.5 +58

Tires are 245/35/18 and 265/35/18 Michelin PSS.

The fronts fit great and no rubbing, but I am getting some bad rubbing on the outside of the rear tires. It is rubbing right at the point the sidewall meets the tread on the outside of the tire.

Car is running stock ride height dampers and springs. Front has M3 front arms and Dinan fixed plates, camber -1.9, the rear has M3 RSFBs and upper control arms and -1.6 camber.

Any ideas?

To update my previous post.

Turns out the problem was with our old alignment machine. F$^#&#%^K!!!!

Put it on our new rack (OE BMW machine), and my rear camber was sitting at -2.2 left, -1.3 right!!!!!!!!

Set both rear to -2.0, rubbing gone, all is good!

Also turns out I actually have -2.2 in the front on both sides, not the -1.8 and -1.9 I thought I had.

Appreciate your interest. The EC-7 design was never produced in a 17" diameter, only 18".

The 1 series SKUs have become increasingly difficult to stock on a daily basis, and that is due to the fact that they are considered a specialty fitment. The 1 series wheel fitment is unique, requiring conservative/high offsets for proper fitment. Most APEX SKUs have the ability to suit multiple BMW chassis, therefore the market is much larger, and the production minimum requirements set by our factory do not pose an issue. On the contrary, the 1 series SKUs can only be purchased by 1 series owners, and current demand does not support our production minimum's. At the end of the day, we would like to still offer these SKUs, as they are a great fit for the 1 series community, where options are limited.

There is an answer! We do not want to put our customers in a box when it comes to wheel/tire fitment, therefore we will continue to offer a wide range of wheel fitments including our specialty SKUs. Our ability to offer products to these niche corners of the community keep APEX unique. The APEX Group Buy platform that many customers have grown to love and our recent partnership with GroupBuy.com provide us with a perfect solution. A Group Buy allows us to create interest within a particular segment of the BMW community on a particular SKU or set of SKUs. By getting a pool of buyers together, we can not only warrant a new production run, but we can discount the product for the customer as well. Whether or not we move forward with production, and at how big of a discount to the customer is fully dependent on the communities participation, therefore it is important for the community show us their interest when Group Buy's become available.

We are not running a Group Buy on these SKUs at this time, but stay tuned! We typically announce these Group Buy on the forums, through our social media channels (Facebook & IG) as well as on our website. You may visit the GroupBuyParts.com website for more information, or to see what Group Buy are current active.

We sincerely appreciate your interest.

Thanks for your reply. I meant 18x8.5 not 17.

I know you probably don't know, but when would you guess there will be another group buy? I don't want to wait 6 months for nothing when I could have had another set of wheels in the meantime.

Correct, we do not have a finite plan for the 2017 Group Buy schedule, but I would be confident in quarter 1 of 2017, likely sometime around February. By running a specialty Group Buy during that time of year, it gives us the best chance of success since track/race season kicks off
