i just cant ever imagine shelling out the money for the stock advans. there are just so many better options and deals out there in my opinion. get star spec's. all you can need unless your gonna track the car every week..... really, come on.

 

Money no object I'd put my money down on the Advan AD08's but I'm not a baller so I went with Hankook RS3's.

 

also have you considered 255/40 yet

 

255/40 may or may not fit depending on what offset and width his rota's are...

they wouldnt fit on my 18 X 9.5 +30 Rotas....

unless he has rolled rear fenders

 

^^

I bought the car with the Rotas already on. They are the P-1.

I have no idea what offset are on them. I haven't taken them off. I'm not quite sure if they are 7.5 or 8s.

The fenders are not rolled.

 

yeah its hard to say without knowing for sure what the width and offset are whether they will fit or not...

i had no problem with a 18 X9-1/2" + 30 offset with a 255/35 on my rotas

On my work wheels i got last year, the fronts are +28 offset 18 X 9-1/2" with 255/35---i had no problem with clearance here

the rears are +26 offset 18 X 9-1/2" with 255/35.....I had to roll the rear fender a little bit to fit them....

Another thing to keep in mind....not all tires of a certain size such as 255/35-18 are the same dimensionally on every angle...

The first set of falkens i have are totally different from the set of nitto 555's i got last year....so the falkens had a smaller contact patch so the sidewall was more angled and stretched looking as opposed to being more square (which requires more clearance on the fender)

well hopefully this helps

 

Sun is out, high of 34....might be something to this global warmining thing after all...lol

 

I would go with the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec's

 

woops i thought we were talking stock wheel. what size tires have you been running on these wheels with the advan A046. just curious

 

Yes tires from different manufacturer's vary greatly. I know my 265/35/18's on 18x9.5 with a +35mm offset in the rear required fender rolling. (not for the faint of heart). Still think I rub on the bumper bolt bracket sometimes. The fronts have a 15mm spacers so are basically a +20 and the 265's fit fine except for a slight rub up front under full lock. Good luck!

 

I'm hoping the weather starts to break mid March. That way I can get my tires and be ready for the season.

 

i'm glad the weather has taken a turn for the better, but now that all the crap is melting i have chunks of ice falling off my roof the size of your average flat panel tv.

i had one come crashing through my awning just a little bit ago and punched a substantial hole right through it. what a nightmare.

i'll be elated when winter is over and done with.

 

Which one of you groin gobblers had their silver Evo at destinta on 30 tonight?

 

Was wondering if anyone here is/or knows a graphics designer? I have a "theme" for the race car and wanted to get someone involved with the design and application on the car.

I'd rather support someone local here to do the work rather than farm it out if at all possible

Thanks, and send me a PM!

 

lol that was me. you live in that area, wat does your car look like?
