19x9.5 Apex ARC8

Few months ago I was able to purchase these Arc8s directly off Apexs website.
Being that I don't need the 19x12s they had listed specifically for Camaros, I had called and asked what the fitment differences were between the smaller sizes that were only bmw fitment specific. They were very helpful helping me determine what was the best size, backspacing to look for. Turns out these fit perfectly. 19x9.5 all the way around and are 1000x better than the factory 20x8.5.
With the 275 40 19 firehawks, I was able to save 12lbs per wheel, total of 48lbs of weight just in the wheel/tire setup, while also going from 245 width, to 275.
I may order some 17s for drag wheels in the rear in the future, super impressed with them, and they weigh competitively with wheels that are way more expensive.

Surprised they didn't suggest the Camaro specific fitments. They have a 19x10".

Nice! would love to ditch the heavy 20s. Love that you can still rotate with a square set up
