Has anyone tried to fit Apex ARC-8's 19x9.5 ET33 Square with 285/35/19? Trying to get the offset as high as possible to minimize wheel weight and poke. Ok with running up to a 5mm spacer in front but not wanting to extend wheel studs or grind down anything (trying to be able to go back to stock if any warranty issue arises). Stock SS/LT1 suspension without Mag-Ride.

All my research leads me to believe these are going to be super close. I've seen 19x10 ET 28 work with no spacers but that was with 275 width tires and not 285's. In theory the wheel itself should clear but adding 10mm to the tire width could cause issues.

Each wheel is also different so it's hard to say on that aspect too. I've seen 19x10 ET 25 require a 3MM (effective 22ET) but then 20x10 ET33 with a 5MM spacer (ET28) is ok. So it seems that the clearance issue is mostly with the wheel but tire has a little more room so maybe I'm ok.

Just don't want to get into a situation where I spend 1,500 on wheels and 1,000 on tires to find out that the ARC-8s don't have the same clearances and I need to run 275's in the front and or a 10mm spacer + extended studs.

Anyone have high offset 19x9.5's with 285's that can share their setup specs?
