Pulled the trigger on some ARC8 17x8's...

[Suspence]

Finally gave in!

Picked up a set of ARC8 17x8 4x100 in Hyper Black, test fit 205s and 215s... fell in love with the look of the 215's and it just laid down more rubber. The car is lowered on IE stage 3 springs, Bilstien shocks, drop hats up front and the front dead coils were cut about an inch. I'm going to be posting in this thread a lot, here is 1 teaser so far. It was a random tire they had ( kumho ) just for testing to see if it would rub or not.

You can see the 205 leaning up and the 215 laying down.



I could have either gone with 205/40's and spacers, or 215's and no spacers. I just felt like being safe and going with 215s. I ordered 4 Falken tires that should be here in 2 days.

Teaser. :)



For those of you who don't know what my car looked like or what my current wheels look like...



The minute that I get everything mounted I'll post photos!

nice looking wheels!
If they made a 5 lug with et 20-30 and were light I would be down !

Huge improvement

Anymore shots of the tires with a similiar to the angle of the 205? I'm trying to decide on tires for my 17x8/17x9 staggered setup and I'm still undecided. I want just a little stretch... thinking 205/40 on the 8's. 215/40 on the back maybe. Anyways, looking good dude.

Those look great! More photos!!

Looks tons better, really pulls the car together in a good way

[IxTech]

love those wheels man!

Does your paint have a lot of orange peel? Just asking since it looks like it does in the 2nd picture, but looks good on the 3rd.

I'm really starting to like these wheels more and more every day. Looks good man!

They make a 5 lug but it's not that light from what I know... Thanks though!!!

I don't, I should have taken more but I was kind of in a rush on my lunch break. I really didn't like the look of the stretch on these wheels, I'm just trying to stay classy and have normal handling. I have spacers and shit right now and I'm just over it all. I rather be safe and just buy good looking wheels that work with my car. 215's look perfect to me, and they sit properly on the car. They are a little big, but I hope it turns out well. ( I mount everything tomorrow afternoon ).

Huge improvement

[Wh33lhop]

I cannot fathom why you wouldn't put 235/40s on these.
