Apex EC-7 wheels

[CraigMillwardCroft]

Looking at the EC-7 for next year with slicks, will the 9.5 x 18 ET35 and 10 x 18 ET25 fit okay without spacers, shod with Michelin 25/64-18 and 27/65-18 does anyone see any problems :-D

you may need a small spacer on the front depending on the tyre shape, and rears even may benefit from 10mm as well.

and a cage if course!

Shimmy when you ran Nitron with your wheels, how much clearance did you have from the spring with a 3mm spacer.

Would 2mm more have worked.

How much lighter are they than OEM CSL wheels?
+ How much are they?

Link above are the OEM CSL wheel weights, didn't think they were that heavy.

The EC-7 18x9 et31 are 9.64kg/21.25lb.

Jim' £900 with discount and postage discount. Then I have to wait and see for UK tax/duty:whistle:

Not sure about 10x18 and larger slicks as I've not had any experience of them or worked it out.

Yep, I put in the 3mm spacer and the tyre/rim was very close still to the spring perch but I think another 2 mm might do it.

Of not you could order some Intrax spring perches which are a slightly different shape.
