Staggered Wheel and tire fitment
Hi all,
Picked up a set of ARC-8s in hyper black on a deal i simply could not refuse. Fitment is 8.5x18 ET45 front and 9.5x18 ET58 rear. This is Apex's recommended fitment for staggered 2 series. 5mm spacer is required in the front but ive been reading conflicting things. Has anyone run this fitment SPECIFICALLY? Also, what tires did you run? Some tires seem to run a bit wider than others. Just trying to avoid rub. Thanks all! |

In our testing, this is what we've found using the 18x8.5" ET45 on the front of the F22:
18x8.5" ET45 225/40-18 tires: 3mm or 5mm spacers required, no camber adjustment needed 235/40-18 tires: 5mm spacers required, no camber adjustment needed 245/35-18 tires: 5mm spacers required, -1.5º or more of front negative camber 255/35-18 tires: at least 7mm spacers required, -2º or more of front negative camber The rear is much simpler with the 18x9.5" ET58: 255/35-18 is a direct fit and 265/35-18 may require slight trimming of the shock dust boot or inner fender liner to prevent rubbing. Alternatively, 5mm rear spacers can be used to eliminate rubbing on the inside. Here's some photos of a 245/35 front with 5mm spacers and 255/35 rear setup with EC-7 wheels in the same sizes as your ARC-8s: --Dylan
