What do you think?

Here are some advans I might buy. They are 18-10 + 15 rear and 18-9 +25 front. The tires do not come with it. Right now they have 295/30/18 rear and 285/30/18 front. LMK what you think.

Advans aren't that good.

They look good Robert but man you have the same issues as me! Kids bicycles and toys all over your "MAN SPACE".

Now to the wheels they look good are they lighter than your old wheels and thats a lot of meat on them wheels bro.

They're OK Robert, but I think I agree with some of the comments: Your RPF1's do look better. With the rear offset you'll need to pull your fenders to get even a 275 to fit at full compression. Fronts would work with a 255.

Given your competitive nature if you do decided to get separate tires for road course and autocross I think you should stick with 17s to help you squeeze out every last tenth.

Those look great! You're going to need some serious rear fender work or wide quarter panels if you want to keep that rear tire size. Its good timing though if you do decide to do some body work.

Those wheels need to be cleaned up a bit before they're mounted on the track car!

I don't usually like 18s on FCs but with Rob's extensive body modifications, they compliment the car well.

I think you need to lend me those wheels Robert. So I can "test" fit them on my FD just don't expect them back for a while.

Earn it.

Those Advans look bitchin' because the're black, which makes them look way better than your RPF01's. Sorry, but 18" wheels are just too big for an FC. Get the new PF01's in black or SBC instead, and earn max respect.

Oops, PF01 fitment doesn't work in 17" sizing. Stick with RPF01's in black and you're good. Or go with custom CCW's $$$.
