Wow. So because BBS didn't tell you the same, you think that somehow, magically, despite their similar specs, the APEX wheels just fit worse?
Again, 235's the the ARC-8's would fit, for all intents and purposes, exactly the same as your BBS wheels do now. Great.
Again, it's about
tire size. Not an issue with the wheels. You'd run into trouble with larger 245s and 255s on your wheels too. JUST as you would on the APEXs, which is what they were referring to when they said you can having rubbing issues.
You went with smaller tires, just as you can on any 17x8/17x8.5" ET40, and have your same "perfect" fitment.
No one is saying you made a bad choice. We all like your wheels. We're trying to say your statements that ARC-8s wouldn't offer a similar fitment is just plain wrong.
Eddy was warning you that, with
larger tires, you may rub. If BBS cared as much about you as APEX does, they'd have told you the exact same thing.
