Shoulda went with 255/40's, they square up on the 9" rims a bit better.

Very nice rim choice though...

I want Advan RGs so bad! I will probably get 18x8.5, 9 is a little to wide for me.

Good luck with the new RIMS.

P.S. What tires did you get?

I think 255's would rub either causing me to use a spacer or roll the fenders. Not sure though. Yokohama said the 245's might even rub! They cost $1,217. I'm putting on a set of nitto 555r's. These rims are only for play, normal daily driving I'll still use the stock rims with Advans on them. As far as gunmetal or black I don't think they are an option but you can get any wheel in any color if your willing to pay the money. The RC II's are actuially more expensive then the RG's. I got them for ¥35,000 a piece and they normally run ¥48,000 apiece so its like 4 for the price of 3. Not a bad deal. I'll post more pics when I get the tires mounted and all.

I have no clearance issues with mine, with the Enkei RPM2s, 17 by 9" with 40mm offset. Had to use 3mm spacers on the front, for brake clearance, not tire. Something about stuffing almost another inch of tirewidth on each corner to make the car look mean as heck.
