APEX | 17" 4-Lug ARC-8 Pre Group-Buy Discussion Thread

[mrcheezle19]

As much as I love not needing spacers, et10 would really limit the use of that wheel. It wouldn't fit under rolled rear arches, so flares and hacking quarter panels would be required. With et20-25ish, you could use it in the rear, and you could still use it in the front with 5-10mm spacers. Just my 2 cents...

I agree with this.

I would use my coilover money for these wheels......

I will have BBK clearance tested at ET10. It's possible at that offset that they will fit, as that's like adding a spacer to the more typical offsets we expected.

I'll report back next week with details.

Awesome! Very excited to hear back.

Would Apex just take my money already.

I would buy these tomorrow if they were made tonight.

My vote for 17x9 would be et10 since you need at least et12 to clear the front strut per KA Motors. I would love to run these with some flares and no spacers. :devil:

Also agree

Agreed.

The rendering was the 17x9".

We're working on getting a deal hosted on the GBP site and 17x8.5" renderings.

This would be a great time to continue discussions on what offsets guys would like for the 9" version.

On my early model with high arches, I'm running 17x9 et25 rear, with 10mm spacers bringing it to et15. Tires are 235/40/17. Quarter panels are rolled flat, and the tires just barely squeeze in there with no rubbing. I think without spacers, they'd fit unrolled early model quarter panels. Unsure about late model clearance.

I'm honestly in for 17x8.5 et20 or 17x9 et25. It would be nice to have both, but I'm sure that's asking a lot. I'd do a staggered setup if both are available. If you only end up doing one of those sizes, I'll likely still do a staggered setup, using the currently available 17x8 et20 as fronts. I just want to be able to run my current 215/40/17 and 235/40/17 tire size preference, without being stretched/bulged at one end and not the other.

Is the rendering above the 17x8.5 or 17x9 wheel?

I'd be interested in a set of 17 x 8s.

1) Anthracite
2) Silver
3) Hyper black

Tires size would be around a 255

Pm me when this comes about please!

ditto on this, I wish people would follow the directions....im ready to buy

[qualie1]

Sweet...

[Reub_e30]

Ahhhh yes! chubby popped. I think 17x8.5 concave in anthracite will be the winner.

Yes I want anthracite. Width doesn't matter to much as long as I can fit a 245/40/17
