Has anyone ran APEX ARC-8 18x8.5 ET45 18x9.5 ET58?

The tire size is 225/40/18 and 255/35/18. Was wondering if anyone has any pics or opinions on this setup? Eventually I’ll be lowering on coilovers. Thank you!

even if you are lowered, those 2-series spec rims+tires will have huge fenderwell gaps because of the 25"+ tire diameters and look super tucked/sunken in, due to it's high offset. the rear offset is so high, the inner tire may contact and you'd need 12.5mm spacer to get it near to F3/4 OEM rear offset.

if you get those wheels, the tire size combo should be changed to:

225/45/18+255/40/18 or
235/45/18+265/40/18 or
245/40/18+275/35/18

with 12.5mm front+15mm rear spacers
