17 inch APEX ARC rims..

What would be the ideal offset and tire size for 17inch Apex rims? provided that the mc is on stock suspension and not changing the alignment specs(and no fender rolling).

I am looking for a 17inch setup for track use and also love the extra meaty look on side profile for mc.

Did you see: new 17" track setup- Apex Arc-8's.

On stock suspension, without added camber, etc. you probably can't go as wide as that thread 9.5/10.5. So probably around:

Front
17x8.5 et40 with a 5mm spacer or
17x9 et30

Rear
17x9.5 et35 with a 10mm spacer or
17x10 et25

If you're willing to spend 20 bucks on Turner camber washer/spacer + a proper alignment (anywhere between $80-$120), you can get -2.5 camber in the front and run 9.5 +35 with a 10mm spacer with 265 width tires. Its what i'm currently running with no rubbing whatsoever. This is with hard driving at the track will full compression.

Any tiresize recommandation for above spec'd rims?

I am assuming above size will not rub with stock suspension?

Did you choose this combo, and if so, what tires/sizes did you get?
