With the 10x10 ET25 ARC8 square setup, so I need a spacer to get back to stock width (front or rear)?

Can you explain what you mean by "getting back to stock width"? Are you talking about wheel width, or track width?

The 18x10 et25 square fitment will be 1.5" wider then the OEM 18/19x8.5" front wheels, and .5" wider then the OEM 18/19x9.5" wheels assuming you have a non-ZCP model.

Spacers are not needed unless you are running KW or Ohlin's suspension, in which case 5mm spacers would be necessary up front to clear the suspension.

JRZ, MCS, and TC Kline are some notable options as well :thumbsup:

With our without helper springs/guides? Or doesn't matter?
Sorry Ryan- I was wondering if the offset would result in a sunken look and if a spacer would be needed to to get back to stock. Don't know what stock competition package offset is.

Thank you for clarifying your question. The OEM ZCP wheels have the following specifications:

Front: 19x9 et31
Rear: 19x10 et25

Therefore our 18x10 et25 will fit exactly the same in the rear, and up front our wheel will be 19mm more aggressive towards the front fenders. In other words, it would be like installing 19mm spacers behind your front OEM ZCP wheels.

Does this make sense?

Yep. Thanks. Just installed them yesterday in prep for COTA next weekend.

This was the first time using this setup. There was very slight rubbing and I mean very slight only when hitting big bumps on the freeway driving to the track which was around 60 miles. After that initial drive on them, all the rubbing stopped completely on the track and performed amazingly. :thumsup: I'm running KW Sleeves on stock EDC shocks. I had to run the 10mm spacers up front to clear the springs.

Throwing a request out here:

Does anyone have any pictures of GLOSS black or HYPER black ARC-8's on a jerez black M3? Or either color on any-kind-of-black M3 for that matter? I'm debating between satin-black and gloss-black, somewhat open to hyperblack as well, but havn't seen any gloss or hyperblack ARC-8's on a black M3 yet.

All the pictures of the satin black look great by the way!

Check out the new FL-5 wheels in satin black on a customer's M3 at Limerock Raceway. Fitment is spot on!
