Question on fitting new wheels

EAZ7 · 11-14-2014, 05:22 AM

Hi, had a call from UPS and my New wheels should be arriving today

I've gone for Apex Arc-8 10x18 ET25 in Gloss Black, Tyres are Pilot sport Cups 285/35/18 squared, i plan on running a 10mm spacer up front and a 5mm spacer in the rear

Is there other special requirements to make them fit or should they go straight on no problems?

Thanks for your time

If you have a drop? Then your going to have problems in the front!
You don't need spacers for the front because it's already wide as it is w/that setup.
Your going to have to do some camber adjustments to tuck the fronts in.

You will need at least -3 front camber for a tire that size.
