Apex could only confirm the EC7 would fit without a spacer so I went that route. Having said that, I ended up putting a spacer on anyway because I had a lot of clearance to the fender. Hope that helps.

The revision is a bit more complicated than that. Our Profile 3 ARC-8s were the wheels that were revised (ie 18x9 ET30, 18x9.5 et35/22, 18x10 ET25) for better barrel clearance. The profile 1 ARC-8s (18x8.5 ET38/45, 18x9 ET42, 18x9.5 et58) are still on the original barrel specification, but the drop well location on the profile 1 ARC-8s is a bit better for these conversions (in some cases). The EC-7 is still definitely a better wheel for this conversion though because of the spoke shape.
