Thanks. I came across this article a while ago. It's no surprise that the Apex rear 18x9.5 ET62 is the ultimate fitment out there, but the front wheel geometry is nothing special at 18x8.5 ET45. The import fees and CAD-USD exchange rate is a show-stopper for Apex wheels, and makes no financial sense for Canadians.

The Apex article does hint at Ground Control coilovers providing the most clearance, but I do not have a positive experience with their camber plates, and question their quality, at least for the E9x/E8x chassis.

The German coilover suspension kits are attractive to me right now, as I have a contact who can import them for a very low mark up and fees. I would save close to %40 over US costs for same parts.

If money would not be a factor, I would opt for a wide front body kit, and paint job, and a dedicated set of Apex track wheel/tires...
