ARC-8s went on

Daemonblitz · 05-02-2011, 08:29 PM

Got my ARC-8s installed today, picked them up from a forum member who only had them for a very short time. They are Hyperblack 18x9 et42 fronts and 18x10 et25 rears.
The tires i got are Hankook Ventus V12 K110 245/40R18 and 275/35R18.
Sorry for the Iphone quality pics.

Some nice propaganda here in the background

My front bumper valence is Plastidipped, and i am also considering coating my mirrors and possibly the roof in the future, let me know how you think that would look

Yay or Nay ?

Thanks Shereef ! Hope to see you at the meet.
And i promise i wasn't copying you when i got these in Hyper Black. I guess we both just have good taste

Haha.

Shereef_Osman · 05-02-2011, 10:25 PM

LOL yes sir, definitely good taste! Looks awesome!

Looks badass!! The front lip is clutch!!!!

About the mirrors, I would go for it. But since the car looks so sick already that I wouldn't spoil it with a coated roof. Just my opinion.

Looks fantastic !

looks great! nice find!

Z4MHawk · 05-03-2011, 08:14 AM

Nice rims. Any issues with clearance in the front?

I have the same setup except for Dunlap Direzza Star Specs. I have a slight rub under a hard turn on the passenger side, at the point were the plastic fender guard has a sharp 60 degree edge, near the outer trim. It hasn't been an issue with tire wear or so much rubbing that a hole will eventually be created in the fender guard.

I still have the factory Camber settings.

Man, your car is S I C K nasty!!! I didn't notice it in your plastidip thread...but i am SO in love with your red on red.

you've got some good taste with what you have done with it. Those ARC-8s are beautiful.

Daemonblitz · 05-03-2011, 11:41 AM

I am definitely lucky to have found this option combo, (Red/Red, Carbon trim, Nav, Prem, Sound) I don't think i'd trade it for any other combo, although AW exterior with the rest of those options comes close :P

I haven't had any rub with this setup, but i haven't driven much on it yet, a few people on these boards are running the same ARC-8 sizes as well as the same tire sizes, and none of them have complained about rubbing.
I am not familiar with Direzza Star Specs but it is possible that they run wider than other brands (I am sure someone will chime in on the issue who is familiar with these). If that is not the case maybe your alignment is slightly off. I can't think of any other reasons why you would experience rubbing and not the rest of us running the exact same setup.
