Thanks for this. So you're longer running the LMs?
I ask because I'm currently running Apex and strongly considering switching to 19" LMs or 18" E88s once I get past some of the other projects I have lined up. My wheels specs are:
18x9.5" ET35
18x10" ET25
This is about as aggressive as I want to go for a street car. With this setup I can get by with -1.5° front and -1.75° rear with no rubbing at all.
There are times I wish the front and rear were a tiny bit more aggressive and then there are times where I'm just not a fitment nazi because there is nothing to be gained unless you're a stanceboi trying to flex for the gram.2003.5 MT JB/B - CSL SCHRICK SUPERSPRINT EISENMANN JRZ SWIFT MILLWAY APR ENDLESS BBS/SSR DREXLER KMP SACHS RECARO AR SLON MKRS GSP DMG KARBONIUS CP AUTOSOLUTIONS KOYO

Due to a national back-order earlier this year on a 275/35 Michelin PS4S, I went with a 255/40 (26.0" diameter) and 285/35 (25.9"). That's a 0.39% difference F/R and the car is super happy. It's nearly identical to the factory 19" that came with the car (26.1"F and 26.0"R).
However, I don't like how the car looks. And the 285s... they're just too big. It's not an ideal setup, but I was pressed for time and was going on a rally and needed tires.
I am running lower tire pressures than most people on the forum would (27 R, 29 F) but in that size and that tire, that's all the pressure required to support the load of the car. It rides great.

I personally like a slightly fatter tire in the front on these cars. Trams a bit more, but with modest toe in, the turn in still feels incredible (for me).

I will say that it's a great handling and riding setup though.Build thread: Topaz Blue to Shark Blue

Correct.. but definitely not stanceboi fitments. I think its just right. Autocouture told me I should be ready to go by Feb 2022. Hopefully I can have my subframe and Ohlins done by then.
