The GTR concavity face on Advan racing wheels have a minimum with of 8.5 inches. I dont think this will sit well with our cars. The offset and bolt pattern are perfect but I think the rim size will cause a rubbing issue. Anyone able to slap on an 8.5 inch wide wheel?

But im still not to sure if that offset will work they are 18x8.5 at a 35 offset

Wheels: 18" X 7.5" ASA AR1 Silver w/ Machined Lip Wheels
Offset: +48mm
Tires: 225/45/18 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position
H&R Sport Springs: 1.4" front drop, 1.3" back drop
Any idea if this will fit on there without any rubbing issues?
Thanks!

if i got 18x8 +35 with stock size tire 215/40R/18 it should fit according to this site
http://www.bigcustomwheels.com/rt_specs.jsp
by the way thats a pretty good site... does most of the calculation for you and it also tells you about clearance and all

Haha I just posted that on LT.com last night! That site saved me from trying to figure out all this offset stuff which I just can't seem to understand...
EDIT: Maybe it was Project Lancer... either way I posted it on some Lancer site =P

SHOULD still be OK, but I'm guessing. You'll be a lot closer, obviously, but I doubt you'll get rubbing unless it's an extreme pothole or something. You're staying pretty close to stock, so it shouldn't be a problem.
