Advan RGII Wheels

Postby tuned_to_fly » Tue Mar 16, 2010 5:46 pm

Hi all,

It's about time I upgraded my wheels on my evo gold NB8A and so far not much has really caught my attention except for Advan RGIIs and Enkei RPF1s, however I much prefer the Advans. I thought I'd post up here to get peoples thoughts on sizing, colour and price as they aren't cheap and I want to ensure I end up with a great setup.

At present I'm leaning towards the silver colour as I don't want white, gold or bronze and I'm not sure how the bright chrome would look. They are available in 16x7 +35 and 16x8 +38. I know the 16x7 will easily fit but would the 16x8 fit without too much work? The Tomei demo car below runs 16x7s and they seem to fit in the guards nicely...

And finally, does anyone know a good retailer/importer? My quote at present is around $2.5k which is a little rich so even a set second hand would be a possible option.

Cheers
Brad

Hmmm... :? :?

Looking at how much those wheels fills the guard, I'm not sure if those wheels have a modest offset of +35 on a 16x7s as stated. Unless they fitted bolted spacers too.

I could be wrong though.

That's what I thought as well, I run 16x7 +33 and it doesn't look that flush.

However the tomei car does run fatter 205/55's vs mine (205/45)

also looks like it's a bit higher and less camber, it just looks low with the kit.

so it is possible.
