First of all, I am a very heavy track, focused driver. I have a fleet of vehicles that we use in our arrive and drive a rental program, so we are always looking for the ability to reduce operational cost and provide a great product to our customer. We are of course, also a dealer for several of our vendors.

I present you the 19 x 10 Apex Forged VS5-RS in gloss gold; this color will not be offered again I’m told.

I was able to fit and have tested on the Xdrive 275/35 and 295/35 in a 19 inch wheel without issues in the xDrive system

My car came with the Pzero tires on them I did a measurement of the front tires and rear tires and the Front contact patch measured out at just about 10 1/2 inches, the rear measured out at just a little over 11 inches. This is factory specs. So although I’ve decreased the width of the tire in the front based on the stamp on the side, the Falken RT660 that is pictured below measures out to 11 inches contact patch on a 19 x 10 in the front. In the rear it measures out to be just a little over 11 inches. I’ll call it an 11 and an eighth.

In other threads about overall diameter, and with when it comes to the xdrive system causing a CEL, and I have been on this thing for about 50 miles now with no issues several lunches and very spirited country driving. The car will be at VIR 4/29 on this set up, and I will also provide feedback.

I do believe 295/35 square will work ; that’s for next time!

Finally an AW with their gloss gold finish. I’ve been looking everywhere for an AW on Apex’s Motorsport Gold and this confirms it looks great!

I picked up the same exact color in Apex’s 20” staggered fitment for my AW G80. Can’t wait to throw these on, but waiting patiently for the car to jump on a boat and cross the Atlantic.

Any success with 295 35r19s all around? Which tyre?
And 275/35 front 295 rear is ~2% height thought the rule of thumb was 1% for the transfer case. I guess its only 3k to replace.
