Which ARC-8 fronts can I run?
Hey guys,
I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a new set of 18" ARC-8s... I love the concave look! I am however, having a hard time deciding which front wheels to buy... My current set up is very simple; I am just lowered on H&R springs with no camber plates or anything. My question for you wheel gurus out there, is can I run the more aggressive front wheels like the fellow in this picture without having to purchase $400 camber plates? My tire sizes will be 235/40/18 and 265/35/18. Please help!

Short answer - No.
Without running more camber, you cannot run a wider wheel. It is common to use 18x9.5 and go 255 or 265 squared ET35 so you can rotate front/rear (you'll need around a 12mm spacer in the back with ET35) You can use camber shims though...you'll need 2.6-2.7*+ to clear the front strut with the addition of a 5mm spacer. |

Pulling the alignment pins on the top of the strut hat in the engine bay can get you around -1.5* If you're running positive camber something is seriously jacked with your suspension |

Also, has anyone run a 235 width front tire on a 9.5" ARC-8? I reeeeeally want to run concave fronts and backs, but I'm not sure if my front tires are too narrow for it?

For the 235s, you might be stretching the tire a bit on a 9.5" wheel. |

K that explains it. If you were lowered, you would need camber plates and a bunch of neg camber to run a 22 offset up front on a 9.5" wheel. Thanks for the input!

Should have my coilovers in 2 weeks, will be setting front camber at about -3 or -3.5 for the track. Should it flush with 265/35/18 up front and 285/35/18 out back
