Square wheels setup

the_gentlem4n · 11-27-2022, 08:49 AM

Hey everyone. I'm running stocks 19" wheels with 255 in the front and 275 in the rear. Looking for tips on what size fitment would be ideal for a square setup. I was looking at dropping down to 18" rims as well. My only concern is will I need spacers for the front or rear and how will the brakes fit onto lower sized wheels. Any info and help would be appreciated.

Check out the F8X fitment guide from Apex:

Sounds like you might want some EC7 in 18x10ET25 with 275/35/18 tires (Supercar 3R?). If you're lowered on HAS then your fronts might need a 5mm spacer depending on drop and tire side clearance to the spring spanner nut.

Dope. You read my mind. I was looking at the Apex EC7s in 18s. What size width do you think would be best? I haven't thought about dropping it much, but would be willing to if needed.

The Apex recommendation is what I'd go with for track. They know…

I run drags so I'm staggered for maximum rear grip, 19x9.5 and 11.5 with 265 and 315s (RT660). My 18" Apex rears were 11.0 with 315 Hoosier DR2s.
