Description
Fitment Guide:
- 1st Gen FR-S/86/BRZ (+35)
- A mild to healthy increase in negative camber is encouraged for wider tire compounds
- 1st Gen FR-S/86/BRZ (+42)
- Performance Package / TRD Sachs Struts will require a minimum of 5mm spacers to clear the front suspension for most track/race oriented compounds in 245 and 255 widths.
- Typically a direct fit, but an increase to mild increase in negative camber is encouraged for wider tire compounds
- 2nd Gen GR86/BRZ (+42)
- These wheels typically do not require any spacer. However, if additional negative camber has been dialed in at the knuckle, a 5mm front spacer may be needed.
- Depending on tire size/model and how negative camber is achieved, shaving the inner lip on the rear quarter panel may be needed
- Increased negative camber may be or typically required for wider compounds or lowered vehicles
ARC-8 Features
- The Flow Form Advantage
- Flow forming enables us to create high performance wheels without the price premium of forging. It improves the mechanical properties and grain structure of the barrel, increasing its strength and stiffness, which allows us to use less material and reduce weight. Thanks to our superior engineering, our flow formed wheels have a higher load rating than some competitors’ forged wheels.
- Big Brake Clearance
- Big brakes often require bigger, heavier, more expensive wheels, which aren’t ideal in a performance environment. The ARC-8 accommodates many big brake kits, even with its classic deep-concave spokes.
- Weight Optimized
- We conducted extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to reinforce high-stress areas and to remove material where it didn’t improve strength. The result is a wheel that is exceptionally light without the strength compromises found on typical lightweight wheels.
- JWL and Beyond
- All APEX Flow Formed wheels meet or meaningfully exceed JWL load rating requirements. Some manufacturers don’t meet the minimum requirements, yet still claim to be compliant. Always compare load ratings to ensure you aren’t sacrificing critical strength for a slightly lighter wheel.
- True VIA
- The VIA is an independent wheel testing and auditing agency similar to TÜV. Many companies falsely claim their wheels have been certified, and even use the VIA stamp without permission. Our Flow Formed wheels have been certified, and we provide the registration numbers for every wheel. Protect yourself. Demand registration numbers from manufacturers.
