3. I went square because I prefer having equal rubber all 4 corners for the track. While in theory it might help with longer life, I don't bother rotating. It's my dedicated track setup and I just wanted max rubber up front and keep the car as neutral as possible.


Keep in mind my answer regarding camber was specific to my suspension and my wheels (9.5 et35). Also certain tires tend to have wider shoulders, ie Star Specs and RS3 will run wider than say a Michelin PSS or Hankook V12. There's good info here on different 17" fitments for NON-M Z4's on stock suspension

Also before ordering, I would definitely ask Eddy @ Apex for confirmed fitments.

Best of luck!
Very helpful thank you. I was afraid to go with the 17x9.0ET30s because I want them to look flush like yours. But I think it'll work out. I want to avoid camber plates and spacers... The car is my daily driver. Thanks again
