Do you have anything in 18" that would clear the SS 1LE brakes?

Preferrably as wide as possible, even if it pokes out.

Yes, SM10 18x10.5 et 22 and the EC7’s both need a 12mm spacer in the front of you want to run a square setup. There’s a thread about a guy asking about 18” in either the road course or 1LE sub forum and nick and i have both shared photos of our setups

I've been running my Arc-8's since day 3 on my camaro and ran a set on my BRZ a couple years ago. can't beat some of those group buys.

For the 'maro I picked up a nice 19x10 square setup with all seasons for DD'ing and haven't had any issues. Other than the brake dust making the black look dirty as f*ck all the time......

As soon as I kill off the stock rubber on autoX and drag days, I'll probably find a nice staggered set with some real sticky rubber.

We used the survey data collected from you guys to determine which design we went with for the specific wheels, which was the ARC-8.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using the current "BMW" wheels on your Camaro and we're going to be supplying those orders with complimentary hub rings starting in about a month or so. Plenty of people are beating the crap out of these wheels on track right now with no issues, don't be afraid of the correct spacer. If you love the SM-10, FL-5, or EC-7 design, grab some of the current offerings

As a side note for those interested in our current wheels, Group Buys are launching today and tomorrow! Keep an eye on this link as the deals going live:

Any chance 19" ARC-8s going on group buy any time soon? I see a group buy for 18 & 19s in Mustang fitment currently. No Camaro love?

If its on the horizon, I implore you to include 19x8.5" (et20) and 19x9.5" (et33) for those of us (ss non-1le and v6 1le) looking for an SCCA F Street legal setup.

Not sure if they're Camaro specific, but those sizes/offsets are available in the ARC-8s.

Yep, I've got them in my cart already; just hoping they'll announce a group buy before I pull the trigger.

How does 19x10" ET20 and 19x11" ET43 sound?

Yes as mentioned, our 18" EC-7 and SM-10 wheels will clear your SS 1LE brakes. Both the barrel and spokes have no issues.

There will be a Group Buy or an introductory sale within the next month or two on the Camaro specific wheels. For the "regular" wheels, there are tentative plans in place for a 19" sale in April.

As for the F street setup, I feel your pain but we will not be producing anything with the direct centerbore in those sizes. The good news is you can grab some of our current offerings to suit your needs.

Glad to hear!


Sorry for the delay on replies here, kind of forgot about this thread

For those that want some reading material, here is a quick article breaking down our 19" ARC-8 test fit on a 5th Gen SS with Z/28 flares.

I found this nearly 4 year OLD thread on a M3 forum explaining that APEX will replace a damaged wheel for 50% off the price of a new one (provided that you ship the old damaged one back to them). Apex, is this still a valid policy?

You could always get the new ARC-8 in the Group Buy which will clear those big brakes!

Hi, thanks for bringing this up. This is in fact still valid and we are actually in the process of making this more formally known.

The basic explanation is each wheel that you purchase gets you covered for one replacement, available to the original purchaser from us or an authorized dealer. Set of 4 wheels = 4 possible replacements.

You can crash them, curb rash, smack a massive pothole, go offroading for fun, jump the car out of a plane, doesn't matter. If it's damaged, it's covered under the 50% replacement program. Actually, if someone wants to document jumping their car out of a plane with our wheels on it, I will give you a free replacement set.
