Well, that statement was just plain wrong, because the fitment of the ARC-8 and the BBS are darn near the same. And both would work equally well with his 235 setup.

APEX specifically told me the 17" fitment they offered wouldn't be great and would cause rubbing. They said the only situation they would find them acceptable is for a track car where rubbing civility isn't the highest priority. You can take it as you want, but when a company essentially tells you not to buy their product, I listen.
I really appreciated their honesty too, and continue to recommend them as a result.

You said ARC8's don't come in a good 17" 135i fitment:
Yet you claim your BBS's are "perfect"?
So a 17x8.5 ET40 is a poor fitment, but a 17x8 ET40 is "perfect"?

Zero rub(with Supersports that notoriously run wide), no rings, no spacers. What else do you want?

It really isn't at all actually.
