17x8.5 APEX ARC-8

Will I be able to fit 17x8.5 w/ 40mm offset APEX ARC-8 wheels for a square setup? I will be mostly driving on the street, with some track use. I'm basically looking to get rid of some unsprung weight, and I love the look of these wheels. Will a 17" wheel look funny without a drop?

As far as suspension, it is all stock, but I do plan on the vorshlag camber plates and e93 m3 anti-roll bar very soon, and possibly doing some of the other m3 bits. Other than that the rest of the suspension will stay the same.

What would be the best tire selection? APEX recommends a 235, 245, or 255. What do you guys think?

Also, is the satin black basically a matte black finish? How do you think that will look on SGM?
