Keep vasilating on what size ARC-8's to order.
Currently lowered on H&R springs, but will get some coilovers/camber plates (H&R or Fortune Auto) next winter. Ideally, want a wheel setup that will look good and work with either suspension component with little adjustment. This is just used for street driving - maybe 1 auto-x a year. Leaning towards: F: 18x9 et42, with 245/40/18 R: 18x10 et25, with 275/35/18 With Michelin PSS', Hankook V12 Ventus, or something similar. David at Apex said: "They'll work as long as you use a street tire in the 245/40/18 tire size, since the tire will be slightly stretched. If you use an extreme summer tire such as a Hankook RS-3 or Dunlop Star Spec, you may need a small 3mm spacer so that the tire doesn't rub on the strut." Should I stick with the planned setup? Should I drop to a 18x8.5 in front (and if so, what tire size)?

I am running R888 and rub the rear fenders, mainly because that tire has a tall and straight sidewall. Choose your tire carefully if you will be dropping the car anymore than an inch. They seem to work fine at 255 size in the front, although the vehicle hasn't seen aggressive driving yet.

Just installed my ARC-8s!
Wheels: 9"x18 ET42 fronts - needed a 3mm spacer to clear strut. Could use another 5mm or so to flush it out. 9.5"x18 ET22 rears - perfect fitment, no spacer Tires: 235/40/18 Front - Tad bit stretched on a 9" wheel 265/35/18 Rear - Tab bit too much meat "overhang" on a 9.5" wheel Optimal wheel widths for these tires would be 8.5" front and 10" rear. I am VERY happy with the fit and finish of these wheels! Pics:

Lol, I don't quite understand how it couldn't be normal... The 9" wheel with an ET42 offset gives you 13mm less strut clearance. When I mounted the wheel it was touching the strut (stock suspension).
