Apex ARC *Fitment Questions

Hello i am sure this question has been asked a million times but has anyone ran flat style arc 8s in the front and concave or profile 1 in the rear?

also i am considering running 245/35/18 pilot supersports in the front with Bilstein PSS10 coilovers will this size fit without rubbing or do i need camber plates or wheel spacers? and then 265/35/18 in the rear


Thanks

I have that exact setup on the front of my car. I do have 1m suspension (non 1m car) and camber plates but it fits no problem (2.8* of camber. Doubtful a 245 will fit without). The rear works but you will need to do the 9.5 et 62 (non concave) wheel. I run a 10mm spacer in the rear just for the aesthetic.

I run 17x8.5 ET40 ARC8 squared.

Currently running -3.6* Camber, and have 245/40/17 Dunlop ZII Tires up front. Lowered on TCKline DA Suspension. Needed to run 5mm spacers to clear the shock and spring assembly.

Cannot answer rear, because I'm running ET40 in the rear, not an actual "proper" offset

I have swift springs, konis, dinan fixed plates and M3 bits. I run -2.5 camber with hancook RS3s on Apex ARC 8s. 235/255. Initially I ran a 3 mm spacer for extra strut clearance up front. However I would rub on inclined turns. Removing the 3mm spacer fixed the rubbing issue. In the rear there is plenty of room for 265s if I so choose

I recommend the 235 front and 265 rear. The 245 will rub unless you go some work to make it fit.

On a 235 front do you go with 35 or 40? 235/35/18 or 235/40/18?
