Re: stock suspension clearance of Apex ARC-8
Can you please bring this up on the
thread dedicated to those wheels?
The manufacturer specifically says that they've designed the wheel to be a no-brainer fit for OEM suspension.
In the meantime, I'll make a note on the top post in this thread.
I do however agree that +42 sounds like a pretty aggressive offset, very likely not friendly to camber bolts. FWIW, I'd expect camber plates to be required to be able to dial in any substantial camber with any 245/40 tire on any 17x9 wheel. On top of that, 245/40 on 17x9 looks like a buggy at stock height, so you might want to also lower the car, which is best done with coilovers, and then you might as well get those with adjustable camber plates. An extra re-alignment and corner balancing can cost about as much as just getting the camber plates...
