Apex Arc 8 17x8 et 25

[Robert]

What size tires are you guys running? What size spacers are needed with shorten strut housings?


I'm planning on running 235/40/17 falken Azenis , I need at least a 5 mm spacer for my Mazda brakes. Will I need something bigger because of my shorten strut housings ? Thanks! Any help would be nice!

Why would a shorten strut housing require spacers?

[Robert]

Because the perch is lower.

Bump for quick question. Did the tires fit all around with no rubbing?

Not sure about your shortened strut housing scenario, I have 235/40/17 Yokohama S Drives on a 1987 e30 with HR race springs and Bilsteins, liners removed and fenders rolled. APEX ARC8 17"x8" wheel.
The Apex group buy thread might have some other tires people have installed.
