This particular M3 in the photo was used to test fit a couple fitments to learn more about the car's fitment in the past. This photo of the car shows it with 18x9.5" ET22 and 18x10.5" ET27 Satin Black EC-7 wheels, wrapped in 265/35/18 front and 285/35/18 rear Nitto NT05 tires. The rear was very aggressive, and is not recommended.
The 18x10" ET25 with 275/35/18 street tires fit all around, though the rear is still a bit more aggressive than we would like. If you track the car on any course that greatly compresses the rear suspension, we're afraid it would make contact on the rear with the 18x10" ET25 wheels. An example of a turn that we'd be weary of is the corkscrew at Laguna Seca. However, there are F8X M3/M4 owners out there using this exact setup with no problem, since most road courses do not see that extreme of an elevation change to compress the suspension at that level. If you are looking for a better fit on the rear, the 18x10" ET33 would be ideal, and can support up to a 295/30/18 sized tire.

So 18x10 et 33 squared is the ideal track set up for F80 M3?

For the EC-7 offerings, that is correct, the 18x10" ET33 squared with a small spacer in the front is ideal for those looking to run 285 or 295 squared on the F80 M3. There have been customers that use the 18x10" ET25 squared but have been limited to a 275 tire width due to the rears being on the aggressive side.
