Pics of Apex Arc-8 17" on Non-M Coupe

17x9.5 et35 square, 255/40-17 Hankook RS-3, AST 4100 & Vorshlag plates (2.8 deg camber). Sorry for the dark pictures, had these mounted after work and snapped these with my phone.

The rim is flush but the shoulders of the tire stick out a little.

It's looking sick! I am considering to buy the rears 18-9.5 ET35. Will they look like yours? Did you have to roll your fenders?

No rolling necessary, if you stick to proper tire sizes (255/35-18) you should be fine. Fronts may rub on full lock against the fender liner of the front bumper or that seems to be my experience so far at least - nothing a heat gun shouldn't be able to fix. If you plan on running 9.5 et 35 you will definitely need camber.

Yours should look like mine but probably even better because the face will have more rim and less tire. I am lowered though about 1" all around though.
