Advan RGIII Wheel 18x9.5 5x114.3 45mm Racing Gold Metallic


Does anyone have any idea what this offset would look like on an FD, and if it would even work without any spacers? I have all 4 of my fenders rolled currently and would be running 25" height to the apex of the fender. Complete noob at figuring this out. Want to run 255 front and 295 rear.

These would be the alignment specs I'd try to get based off Coleman's recommended specs:
Toe in front between a 1/16 and 1/8th inch
Toe in rear zero
Camber front and rear 1.2 degrees negative
Caster equal minimal
Zero rear thrust angle.
Mmmm people run 18x10+50 in the front, so that's about 45mm outside traditional front fitment. I think you'd need overs and stance to squeeze those.

Edit: the post above yours is a slightly more aggressive wheel fitment, with overs.

The 9.5" +45 will fit front or rear. The 10.5" +15 isn't going to fit anyplace without an overfender. Spacers would only make it worse.

for what those cost you might as well get some custom made to the exactly perfect offset

With 17x10+38 255/40/17 squared, I have some tire stretch. I wanted to upgrade my tires and keep my RPF1's, because I love the look. Do you guys have any suggestions for what tire size I should go with?

Was thinking of just upsizing the rear tire as that seems the most stretched for some reason. Was thinking of going with something like 275/40/17 but not sure which brand tire to go with. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Currently have these squared:

Was thinking of keeping my current tires for the front (255/40/17 Bridgestone Potenza) t and getting this for the rear (285/35r18)

https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...!&gclsrc=aw.ds

OR:
Used 275/40r/17's
https://www.ebay.com/itm/16523227577...torefresh=true

Will be running fenders rolled with Ohlins @ 24 1/4 ~ 24 1/2 " off the ground to the apex of the fender.

no direct experience, just something I saw posted elsewhere recently and am not sure about hubcenter adapability since they’re intended on an S2000

forged 17x10+50 @ 18.4 lbs each claimed and 17x10+45 @ sub-17 lbs each claimed, 17x9.5+48 @ 17.5 lbs each claimed

18 X 9.5 front and 18 X10.5 rear. 255s front, 295s rear. Also what would the suggested offset be for front and rear in this fitment?
Rays' size availability are all online. Unfortunately for OG ZE40 (https://www.rayswheels.co.jp/product...=ja&wheel=ZE40) it looks like the only size available is 18*10 +35 (which I think you can still get in optional gold. Looks like I got IB4TL on my golds!)

The replacement appears to be ZE40 Time-attack III (https://www.rayswheels.co.jp/product...eel=ZE40TA_III) which are available in 18*9.5 +21 and 10.5+14. I inquired about this Time Attack III version, and unfortunately it is NOT available in special colors (i.e. not available in gold!)

Good luck!

Those 17x10 +50 Vaikhari x Titans look pretty cool too. But not cheap...


A JDM option is Work Emotion CR 2P (2 piece) as they can be ordered in any offset/width and the CRs weigh quite a bit less than regular heavy Work wheels (though, not as light as these forged or forged or cast then spun monoblocks.)

These look killer and can also be purchased in machine black which (in my opinion) would look great against an already black FD. I'm in need of new wheels and was going to go the typical RPF1 route but I'm now seriously considering these. The article states no rubbing or rolling required on this setup but what does everyone else think? I'm still on stock suspension but could certainly be convinced to upgrade to some Ohlins at the same time to make this all work.

PS: Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for that. I'm guessing those are the black finish? Do you ever make it to the upstate cars and coffee with that car?

I have the gunmetal and the Matte black on the car as it was for the test fit of the wheels. I'm going to end up with all Matte black on the car.
