APEX ARC-8: Official Wheel Gallery
There are a lot of members out there running the ARC-8 wheels now, with a mix of staggered/square setups and different tire sizes.
Lets make this the official ARC-8 wheel gallery for the Z4 M and non-M Feel free to just post up pictures, BUT If you don't mind, please also include the following since many tire sizes are not a direct fitment, and members would like to know the specifics of how to achieve the same fit/look:

I pulled together all the info I could find regarding the APEX ARC-8 Wheels. If I post incorrect information or you don't want your pictures posted here, PM me and I'll fix it. I only posted what I found, I made no assumptions. Also, if you give me more information, I'll update the post.
P.S.

the tyre profile looks a bit too chunky in 18". 19's would look way better, but thats only my opinion.

I love the 19.5's up front for their dish. Are there any issues running F: 18x9.5 245/40/18
R: 18x10, 275/35/18 with H&R springs only? Or does it depend on sidewall width of each particular tire brand? I'd love to run this setup |

Blind32, thank you for putting together that list of member photos along with fitment information!
Quote:
It's hard to say how it would fit up front, as a stretched 245 may be stretched enough to clear the fender, but with the wheel being pushed out 13mm more then if you were to run a 9" wheel, I would say you're going to want some negative camber up front to make it fit correctly. |

That was my setup with the 18's. Only I had the 8.5's up front. Too much rubbing w/o camber plates with the 9.5's I believe. As soon asd I have the fundage I'm getting a new black set for the coupe. No rubbing at all with the H&R's and that size tire/wheel. It blows away the stock width and looks mean.

The 9.5" wheels have a more aggressive offset and are wider. So other variables like the brand/model tire you run, ride height, and camber will all be a factor in how that setup would fit.

Those of you running 9.5 all around. What suspension set ups are you all running and what offsets? Any rubbing with stock suspension?
