We know the 17" ARC-8 will clear the non-M sport OEM brakes, as well as many aftermarket kits up to 355mm. Which particular setup are you referring to?



We don't produce a 19x9" ET38, are you referring to the 19x9" ET28? That wheel does indeed use a Profile 3 concave face. We recommend 255/30-19 tires on that size, which will require some front negative camber, and possibly rolled rear fenders and/or negative camber as well depending on ride height and tire brand.

The 18x9" ET30 is pretty aggressive on a stock suspension, and may poke unless negative camber is dialed in. If you go with this size, I recommend 255/35-18 with the appropriate negative camber dialed in, which will help with both performance and tire wear.

Hi Apex, I got several confirmations (from people who have installed the f30 oem 340mm bakes on 17" ARC-8s) that the wheels will clear the brakes. As soon as I get them mounted I will post fitment pictures. These are the brakes I was referring to:
