ZPOST - View Single Post - My new 17" track setup- Apex Arc-8's

I think it looks sweet! The wheels and the tires!

I have a set of Kosei K1 in 17x8.5 that I have used on my old e46 and on my e28. Just found that they will clear the stock M brakes so I'm gonna see how they look! Not as nice as the arc-8 but nice and lite.

Update! Mounted the 17/8.5 Kosei K1, 18mm spacer rear/5mm spacer front, shod with 235/45r17 PSS today and went for a drive. Better acceleration, car feels much more nimble, didn't notice any sacrifice in handling/grip although I know ultimate grip is reduced, especially in back. Think I'll use these tires up and mount 255/40r17 next.

Thanks for the idea!
