Not all tires are made the same and other modifications can effect fitment There are numerous threads on this forum the show what's already been done We recommend reviewing those threads or consulting with us to fully understand this specialty fitment You can contact us directly for feedback on your specific application Wheel Details: Manufacturing process: All APEX wheels are flow-formed resulting in a light weight, track and street worthy wheel. Flow-forming significantly reduces weight in the barrel by rolling the barrel out into it's final shape using large wheels/disks applying high pressure. This step is the same step that monoblock forged wheels go through to shape their barrels. By doing this, the flow-formed wheel's barrel has the same density and strength as a traditional forged wheel. This significantly reduces rotational mass at the furthest point from the center, which is the most important weight savings area on a wheel. Strength: These wheels are fully VIA and JWL certified with a load rating of 1550lbs. Don't be fooled by competitors that claim to be certified, but cannot provide registration numbers. There are vendors on this forum selling wheels that are not certified, yet they claim they are. Finish: The wheels will be available in 4 finishes Hyper Silver Hyperblack Anthracite Satin Black Misc. Comes with carbon-look APEX center caps Accepts OEM Roundel center caps Install using your factory lugs or a stud conversion Accepts wheel spacers including 5mm thickness, while remaining hub-centric TPMS compatible Hyper Silver Hyper Black Anthracite Satin Black

Do these come in 17s? If they do, what are the biggest tires can I run on a completely stock car? Looking to replace my Kosei 17x8.5 et40 which can only run 235s all around without modification.

These do not come in 17's. We only offer a 17x8.5" et40 which would cause the same issue.

I just want to chime in and say- these wheels are amazing. I run 275's in the back and 255's up front (very light fender roll on all 4 fenders). I'm also lowered on coilovers. As long as your car isn't slammed and you have some 5mm spacers in the rear, you can rock massive tires.

Thanks for posting pics guys. These are still in stock and ready to ship. An international customer will be placing a major order for these wheels shortly (40+ sets for the 1 series). We have more wheels in bound this summer, but be sure to get these while they're still available in all 4 finishes.
