Rush build by Pro-Spec at Quincy, MA.
The gold TE37 was originally planned to be on my Voltex Evo9, that's why it's 18x10.5 +15 w/265/35-18 Advan A048. But i ended up with another Mag Blue set, so this set we put on the X.
the car didn't roll the fender, and it rubs pretty bad. the look just show a concept. we will fix up the fender soon, maybe needs a little fender flare.
the best size for X still 18x9.5 +22. hehe

Why settle for a 9" wheel on a X? There is plenty more room....but I wouldnt go much wider than a 265, or possibly a 275 if you are looking for the thickest tire. Both of those sizes will be a little "bulgy" depending on sidewall size tho.

I am pretty sure you said you already ordered the 19x9 wheels in an older thread, try selling them if you have them already, or switching them out if they are still on order. Oh well

The spokes are not evenly spaced, they are RZ's. Look at the last photo, the rear left wheel. Different spacing and you can tell on that shot.

1) I agree that those rims could definitely be 19's, as the tire's profile looks to be very low and the thread does not seem to be as aggressive (indicating on the use of street tires).
2) The rims could not possibly be the ones used in TAS as they are clearly Advan RS, not RZ. Just look at this picture and see the equal sizes between the spokes...


...compared to this:


Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to argue on purpose or anything, I just feel the need to say what's right or wrong in my opinion.


And 1 more thing that I'm definitely sure about is that Advan confused everybody with the introduction of the RZ...
That angle is absolutely HORRID for being able to tell the spacing on the wheel. I can see a minute difference in spacing so to me it's still optically the RZ.

And regardless, I still maintain it's the Advan RZ for these reason's:

1. You can tell the tire is IDENTICLE to the tire on the RZ's on the car at TAS. Do you REALLY think they would mount the same tire on two wheels when the car will never see track often? And you said it yourself they use the AO-48 for tracking.
2. The tuners use the latest and greatest things on their cars....and by now the RS is an "outdated" wheel. They want the RZ on their car because it's the newest and improved wheel availible from Advan.

Plus, since Eric from Driveline was at TAS, I'd take his word as well.

i'd rethink the wheel size qualifications to post in this thread. A lot of this stuff isn't aggressive on a X.

I agree, but the problem is that not many take risks and go for really low offsets, which is possible to do with the X. So the qualifications that I posted are pretty much the limits of how not aggressive you can go with the X, while still maintaining a concave rim.

Hopefully it makes sense...
