APEX - 18x8.5

APEX represents designs that are the culmination of esthetic as well as functional beauty.

Apex achieves light weight and high strength by Flow-Form (aka Roll Forging) their wheels and creating application specific designs. This assures that wheels are light yet durable enough for the rigors of daily transportation, or the track and no spacers or centering rings are needed.

Just released: 1 series specific 18x8.5" 45mm offset version of the ARC-8 wheel! New 18x8.5" version of the ARC-8 wheel specifically re-engineered for the 1 series application. Now with a higher offset to improve fender clearance.

18x8.5" APEX ARC-8 Wheel

  • Direct to 1 series front fitment

    Attention 1 Series owners:  This new version is perfect for those who want to run a 225/40/18 or 235/40/18 tires up front on a 100% unmodified 1 series. Previously camber plates were needed to run a 235/40 front, but this new offset provides the needed front fender clearance to make it fit without issue. This wheel, along with the 1 specific ARC-8 rear wheel makes the perfect combination!. No spacers needed.

    These are now a much more street friendly fitment for the front and rear versus the previous wheel that was pushed out an additional 7mm.
    This new version can be used as a square setup ( 8.5" all the way around) or as part of a staggered setup when used with the ARC-8 1 Series specific 9.5" wheel.

    For track/autocross/HPDE and extreme setups:
    This new offset takes better advantage of the clearance between the strut tube and barrel of the wheel. 245/35/18 and 255/35/18's will have additional fender side clearance. Negative camber (aftermarket front Camber Plates) are still mandatory to fit anything larger then a 235 summer tire up front. A 3mm spacer may be needed up front depending on what tire is used, as street tires, and r-compounds in the same sizes can verify by as much as 3/4" in overall width. Fender rolling may still be required for wide fitments and fitment of anything beyond a 235 width tire is at the customers discretion.
