I believe the silver demo car they have in their pics is running 17x10. It does appear to have a slight pull in the front and that echos their fitment recommendations. Back in the day Advan RZII/RSII were made in a unicorn 17x10+50 fitment and people ran it with 255s. Apparently it was not very difficult to fit and based on rough eye balling of my current 17x9.5+51 setup it would likely be doable. The wheel lip would stick out 6mm further along with the more stretched side wall however the tread section should sit in the same place because of the offset which is the important part. The stretched side wall becomes a concern on extreme compression however I believe there's still some room left. That said, +48 offset might be the bleeding edge and make fitment very tire dependent. With -3.2* camber in the front, my old RS4s had roughly 6-8 mm space from tire shoulder to fender lip but currently the RT660s I'm on run wide so I'd wager I only have 4-5 mm space now with my current wheels. With camber gain on compression I likely still would have room for cornering with the 17x10+48 but I'd have to be even more careful with curbs. Thats with regards to mounting a 255. People run 255+40 with a front pull so I guess 275+48 might be doable with the same work.

 

Volk had some pretty popular 17x10 +44 and 17x10+45 options in the CE-28Ns back in the day. A lot of the faster track s2ks were running them on stock fenders with a slight pull.

I definitely would have picked these up a few years ago when I was shopping for replacements to my 17x10 +52 6ULRs after cracking them on track.

Great competitive option to the Titan7 offerings. Given this and Titan7, I can see no reason to pay the price premium for Volks if evaluating from a completely functional aspect. I'd say that these are subjectively a very good looking wheel too.

 

Are Apex and Titan 7 wheels mold forged? If not, thats probably where some of the price difference is.
Volks are mold forged which should make for a stronger and more rigid wheel.

That being said, if Titan 7 or Apex would make some nice 17x10s in white they would be at the top of my list for my next set

 

We greatly appreciate all of the interest thus far. While many track enthusiasts and racers here have seen (or have used) our wheels on BMWs, Porsche's and other popular track capable vehicles over the years, I recognize that some of you may not be familiar with APEX.

After 15 years of engineering lightweight flow formed wheels for motorsport use, we knew it was time to leverage our growing in-house engineering department and everything we had learned over the years by adding forged wheels to our offering. To be honest, it took much longer to launch this Forged Sprint Line than we would have liked, but most of that was due to the fact that we had to create custom motorsport blanks to ensure we could deliver the motorsport features we wanted our wheels to embody. Many wheel companies market their wheels as track/motorsport oriented, however, not all of them truly deliver when when you look past the surface.

The S2k platform has been on our radar for wheel development for quite some time, so we're really excited to leverage our new dies and wheel designs to offer the community quality, affordable solutions. Here are some good supportive blog articles and videos that dive further into the details of what sets our Sprint Line wheels apart:

@APEX Wheels

Of the photos on your site, are all the s2k's on the 17x10's red, silver, yellow? Trying to determine how much 'pull' is required
I'm already rolled for 17x10 +55's weds sA72r's with 255 a052s/

@Soviet any feedback on fitment?

 

17x10+50 with 255 RE71 was a pretty easy fitment for me. I used SPC joints up front. Tons of clearance. I think I was running -3.3 deg of camber up front...but may have been able to get away with -2.8ish.

Obviously, I couldn't just be a buffoon when exiting/entering driveways.

UPPER camber correction will make things a lot easier to fit.

I had rolled (not pulled) fenders.

+48 shouldn't be much different than my +50 fitment.

+48 should be advantageous in that it more likely won't contact the control arm on full lock.

So I think that Apex chose the right size/offset combination. Not just in 17x10 either. The 9.5 is an excellent fitment too.

**Its important to note that RE71R in 255/40/17 runs a little on the skinny side in comparison to like...a RT660.

 

Evasive sells their own Titan 7 wheels which are very similar at 17x10 +47.

I run Weds SA72R 17x10+55 with J's camber joints and have tons of space, I'm rolled flat but no pull. I wish they were +50 to give me more clearance to the control arm. On the right had side at full lock I just barely rub

 

We understand that enthusiasts have different priorities and enjoy their cars in different ways, which is why we're offering three different functional 17" wheel fitments at launch. Naturally the 10" option catches a lot of attention, but all three fitments work very well and serve a purpose.

Our 17x10" ET48 fitment was carefully selected after 3D laser scanning the brakes and suspension, and performing extensive on-car testing, and is our most aggressive offering for hardcore track enthusiasts and racers seeking maximum tire sidewall support. Whenever you push the limits of wheel fitment, it is always a balance between inner strut clearance and outer fender clearance and we believe ET48 is right in the sweet spot for a 10" wheel. Each car is going to be a little different depending on contributing factors like tire size, tire brand (not all are created equal), ride height, etc., but for this setup to function properly with 255/40-17 tires the fenders need to be rolled flat and a very healthy amount of camber needs to be dialed in (typically -3º or more). Pulling the fenders will help maximize clearance especially for compounds that run wide, but is not always a necessity as others have mentioned here.

All three have our 17x10" ET48 wheels installed with the same 255/40-17 Yokohama A052 tires. The red car has about -3.6º front, and -3.2 rear, while the yellow car has -3.2º front, and -3º rear.

Yep. 17x10 is a functional fitment for cars that are preparing to be DTF. If you're looking for something "fender friendly" with conservative camber...then, it might not be your size.
