On another note, in case anyone is wondering, Apex ARC-8s in 18x9 ET42 will NOT fit up front with 245/40-18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires.
Apparently this is a particularly wide tire, and the widest part (the raised bead to protect the face of the wheels) is firmly touching the strut. (This is actually a non-directional tire, so it has this bead on both sides... perhaps this is the problem.)

Apex has advised that they think a 3mm spacer should be enough to clear it... fingers crossed.
Oh, and it should be noted that Apex is shipping me the spacers for free. What a great company.
same thing happening to me with MPSS 245/40/18
installed 3mm still touches the strut -.-
i guess im going to remove the 5mm and install it front but its going to stick out of the fender more than now :|

so its either to go camberplate or drop?
