Test Fitment: New 19" APEX ARC-8 Camaro Specific Wheels

Our first Camaro specific sample wheels have finally arrived! We didn’t waste any time mounting them on our friend Andrew’s 5th Gen Camaro SS. The new wheels feature a Camaro specific 67.1mm hub centric design and we’ve upgraded these wheels to include a knurled bead seat to reduce unwanted tire rotation. For this test fitment, we went with a wide, direct bolt-on 11” square fitment providing plenty of room for the large 6 piston Brembo brakes. The fit was flush as expected for this chassis, but with the addition of the Z/28 fender flares on this specific build – we would recommend a small spacer in the rear for aesthetic purposes. Cars that do not run flares should not use a spacer.

Cory has been Domestic Fitment Expert at APEX since 2018, helping owners figure out the proper wheel fitments for their Camaro, Corvette, Mustang, Challenger, Charger, Cadillac, and Tesla vehicles. Prior to joining APEX, he worked as Service Advisor at an automotive performance shop. Never one to sit at a car show, Cory has had a lifelong passion for performance driving. His extensive track experience began with HPDEs in 2015. He soon got the itch to start competing in time trials, which he has been doing ever since. Among the cars he has tracked are three Mustang GTs (2005, 2006, 2011), a 2016 Fiesta ST, and his current ride, a 2010 Corvette Grand Sport with APEX SM-10RS wheels. Fun Fact: Apparently Cory’s love of speed isn’t limited to the racetrack; after not training at all, he recently ran a 5K and placed 7th out of 210 competitors.
