Tire / Wheel Fitment Questions
#3212
Advan RS
Currently researching wheels and have been browsing through this thread. I appologise if this has been answered elsewhere in the thread but I didn't see it while skimming through. Earlier (08-09) people were recommending the Advan RS 18x9 +29 with 255 35R18 tires on it for a drop in no rub fit. It seems these wheels aren't made anymore, and I am having trouble finding someone still selling them, in gunmetal at least. Will the Advan RS II in 18x9 +35 with a 255 35R18 work in a similar hands off fashion? I've seen previous posts saying the +25 would require a fender roll/pull, neither of which are things I want to do. Thanks for the help.

I'm having the same dilemma about the Advan RSII. Found this thread where a guy is using 18x9 +35 with 245/40 and no fender work.

Hey Minus - what are your thoughts on Gram Lights 57Trancends 18x9 +30 with 255/40 or 245/40 rubber? Can I get away without fender work based on the Advan fittings I mentioned above?

+25's will need a bit more work (i.e. roll, fender pull, bumper bolt relocation)

If you were to run no more than -1.8 degrees of rear camber this may be doable w/out a pull. Any camber beyond -1.8 is getting into the ill handling area

The +30, running the 255/40 will need a nice, tight rear roll. This is getting close to the pull zone so the tighter the roll the better. This is also getting close to the rear bumper bolt due to the 40 series tire. The 245 gets you out of needing the rear fender pull

Good question. Rotas are at times very EVO friendly & this may likely clear w/out any spacers. But, predicting spacer size cant be done due to spoke design
Ill do a search for you but I doubt many of us have run this. I run a few wheels, but one of them is the Rota P45R 17x9.5 +30 & fits over the Brembos w/out spacers
EDIT: Found it! See post no. 4 here:

Hey guys. I'm looking to run 18x9 +45 TE37s with 255/35/18 tires. Does anyone know what size spacer I will need to make these work? Hopefully without much or any fender work. Thank you in advance!

You want a 10-15mm spacer on all 4 to make them at least look good as far as offset goes. I'm not sure what you will need for front caliper clearance.

Ill do a search for you, but maybe difficult to find another user of this +45 wheel
EDIT: Found a non EVO thread on these wheels. At least can see what they look like. The problem w/these high offset wheels is that the spokes are flat w/no concaveness to them

You can space all 4 wheels out but really not liking this due to the "way out of spec" offset, the flat spoke design & the spacer issue on all 4 corners
