I really like these wheels and the fact that they can be had with custom offsets but not being able to use them with manufacturer's recommended torque specs is deal breaker for me :/ Apex confirmed that I can safely run 140 lb/ft torque on the lug nuts with no issue and advised me to stick to manufacturer's recommendation, FWIW

Same here. No issues with FIKSE and OEM torque.
I won't run on a track at less than oem torque. Especially with sticker tires. So all ears for the answer here... |

I understand the desire to have a square setup - for rotating tires - but what a pain when they're on different sized wheels. Also, having front tires with sidewalls that bulge out that much means you're going to lose a lot of that instant feedback the OEM setup provides. Good luck!

The front does bulge a bit, but it's not overly dramatic. We will see how it handles on track before I jump to any conclusions. Another option is 295 square.

Dayum...if we had a track here in Hawaii, I would definitely do this. I love it. Good job.

Looks like you're on RE71R. Same tire I'm running too- I'd rather have an NT01. Having owned more sets of NT01's than I can count, they're my hands down favorite. The RE71R is a great tire too and about as fast as an NT01 in the dry, but better in the wet. However, they wear considerably faster than an NT01. |

These are custom offsets so you can order whatever you need to fit a 10.5 properly in the R and still retain proper stock track width ratio F to R. These specific offsets won't accomplish it.

?? No. Not even close. Currently it has about 22mm of poke with the 11". Sticking the fronts on would increase that to almost 38mm!!
