Rears are still a mystery I guess. Hoping to hear for a response from Apex. |

Apex Wheel color for Black Sapphire Metallic
Poll - What color Apex VS-5RS would look best on a Black Sapphire Metallic M240?

Sorry again for the delayed replies guys, I’m returning from an extended vacation and am playing catchup.

Wheel & Tire Calculator A calculator like this is invaluable when you’re trying to figure out where the wheels will actually sit relative to the factory wheels. Compared to the 19x8.5 ET25 wheels (893m), they'll be 6.4mm more aggressive. The rear wheels are indeed the 19x10 ET38 wheels which are shown below. If you had to have a 19x9.5" rear, we offer a 19x9.5 ET25 wheel for the Supra that would be an option, but it would be an aggressive fitment. For visual reference here is a 19x9 ET28 SM-10 APEX wheel on the front of a 2 series: (going large with these, expand as needed) The VS-5RS wheels we are bringing to market are 3mm more aggressive than the wheels shown above. We made the offset change because of a difference in the Forged Sprint Line inner lip. The Sprint Lip is heavily reinforced with material in a C-channel to give the wheel even more strength in this critical area but this means that even though the width and offset could have been the same as the SM-10s, we moved the wheel outward 3mm to give more room for strut clearance with the wider/thicker inner lip. Inner lip demo image, circled lower portion of the C channel: This lip is actually a huge feature of our Sprint wheels that is under-appreciated in my opinion. An article on it can be found here: https://www.apexraceparts.com/blog/?s=inner+lip Features like this aren’t factored into load ratings but they protect the wheel on the inner edge where it doesn’t have support from the spokes and is actually more likely to fail. I’m very happy with the offset we landed on. It’s aggressive enough to fill the wheel wells even of stock cars, but more importantly will give the community the ability to run much wider tires than OE. I’d always prefer to bring a slightly higher offset option to market that people can use spacers with to get the most flush look compared to producing lower offset options that require stretched tires or modifications to fit. If we were in a perfect world that let you choose any offset you wanted and get said wheels immediately then yes we might go lower for a flush fitment that a few individuals preferred, but we’re bringing a single fitment to market optimized to allow you to maximize the tire width on your 2 series front and rear. Significantly lower front offsets on the 19x9 ET25 also make the wheel less ideal for rear fitment for those looking to run a truly square fitment. Hope this helps! -Tom

Nice! I'd love to see them on the car. Are they getting a set of slicks?

The slicks pictured in the background are actually for a spec miata. I will definitely share photos once they are mounted and installed! |

A quick update for everyone: The VS-5RS in G42-specific fitments are now on our website and can be pre-ordered. The wheels themselves are arriving in Mid-October.
Order Link Here I've applied a Discount on the front and rear 19x9 and 19x10s respectively that will run through the end of October for anyone that preorders the wheels. It's live on the website and applies to all finishes. Our fitment guides and brake clearance documents have been updated with these new wheels, but their overall fitment is identical to the SM-10s aside from the minor front offset tweak I've mentioned before. Thanks for your patience with this process and let us know if you have any questions! -Tom

Front: 245/40-19 Rear: 275/35-19 Also, I'm currently running 13mn spacers with stock wheels. I'm hoping these wheels will sit more flush so I won't need the spacers. What do you think Tom? |

If you’re not local, but you want to show off your APEX wheels regardless of model, feel free to email photos to experts@apexraceparts.com or submit them to our new Gallery Thread. If you’re interested in seeing the profile of these VS-5RS, we recently brought in a G30 5 series for scanning and testfits. Its not a G42, but its our first on-car shots of these wheels. This car is running the 19x9 ET25 front and 19x10 ET38 rear. Quote:

This set of SM-10s shows what is essentially the same wheel fitment as the VS-5RS in the staggered sizing would be but the front VS-5RS will be 3mm further out. That is a very minor shift so overall it doesn’t change any of our fitment or tire recommendations compared to the SM-10s. No spacers were used in the photo above. Those tire sizes should work well with the VS-5RS when running those staggered wheels. We list it on the guide, but the lower offset will help with true clearance where the tire is concerned: https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc...-Fitment-Guide -Tom

Here is a quick dirty shot of 19x9 square set with 255 DWS's that I just mounted.

I’m local (San Jose) and my m240i xDrive in Brooklyn Grey with the Cooling and High Performance Tire Package (a bigger calipers/rotors, mini fender flares) should be arriving in December. I’d be very interested picking up a set of VS-5RS is Anthracite.
