Apex Wheels ET42 ARC-8 17x9 +42 specs

255/40R17 tires on 17x9 wheels

The tire size is 255/40R17: a 255 mm section width with a 40 aspect ratio on the 17-inch wheel, which gives a meaty fit (the tire is wider than the wheel, so the sidewall bulges a little and gives more cushion).

The owner chose Maxxis Victra VR-1. We stock Falken Azenis FK460 A/S 255/40ZR17 98Y - 28105136 at $188 each in this size, and other 255/40R17 tires through the 255/40R17 tire search.

Suspension, stance and clearance

The car is lowered on RaceComp Engineering coilovers, which lets the owner dial in ride height and camber to clear 17x9 +42 and get the flush look.

No rubbing at all, front or rear, no spacers, rolled fenders. Rolling or pulling the fender is what most owners do once the wheel sits this close; it keeps the tire from catching the lip over bumps.

Stance: flush. The wheel face lines up with the fender. Flush fitment on a Subaru BRZ comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
