Apex Arc 8 with 275/35 R888s

SSSnakeman · 04-16-2016, 07:21 PM

I've ordered these just wondering if anyone knows if I'll need a small spacer or any fender work to make it optimal? I've run 255 R888 and 275 V12 etc so I have an idea. I saw someone ran them and had an issue with the fuel filler rubbing while tracking the car.

It would help if you state the wheel size and offset. I have seen guys with ARC-8s with a 265/35 in the past in 1 series fitment..

I thought it was a given they are Apex Arc 8's in 1 series fitment aka ET62. They'll be here tomorrow anyway so I'll know then if I need to order a small spacer etc. I just thought someone would know where issues would come up other than what I mentioned.

I think it will most likely rub on the inner fender liner at full compression with maximum negative camber. The 275 may also rub on the fender as well. Let us know how it goes.

It will also rub away at the fuel tube in the wheel well

They went on the car and I drove it home. So far so good but it's definitely pushing it. They are significantly wider than the same size V12 EVOs. I'll take some pics but I'm just planning on rolling the fenders and using a small spacer.
