Got my new wheel tire combo. Looks MUCH better than stock.
Apex arc8 18x8.5, 18x9.5 (5mm spacer)
Michelin 4s 245/265
No rubbing on the street. On stock suspension. Very happy and highly recommend.

Extremely nice. Is it lowered? Which ET does the front wheel have? Stock Camber?
I want a 245 square setup with 8.5j ET40, but im not sure at all, if that will fit under the front.

If it's these on the front, then the offset is ET38:

Correct, et38F, et 58 R
Stock alignment and suspension.
Don't feel like I need to lower or reduce comfort with bigger wheels now with these "fatties" (cosmetically). Fills the wheel well better now.

So, no spacer in the front, correct? What ratio are the front tires 245/??

Any idea if the same offset going with a square set-up with the 8.5's would work or spacer will be needed?

Not sure but call Apex. They got me exactly what I wanted that works first time.

Looks great!

Did you need the spacer on the rear or was it just for looks?

Need it for inside clearance in the rear, apparently. Looks good too......

Wheels look great! I'm looking at that set up or a square setup with 245's all around. Off topic, but what spoiler is that?

I wonder if the spacer is only needed for the 265s. 255s might work sans spacer.
