Advan RG 17x8.5 +43
 
I just picked up a sent of mint, original Advan RG's in gold from a friend. Wheel dimensions are 17x8.5 +43 and tires are Nitto NT01's in 255/40R17 all around. Car is lowered on Eibach Sportlines with factory alignment specs (for now). I will get better pics of front and rear fitment but for now, enjoy! :thumbup:

Thanks guys! I'm really happy my buddy was able to sell them to me. I haven't had a chance to get full fitment pics due to rain but I will get pics tomorrow ASAP.

Thanks man. I've been tryin to get these wheels off my buddy for years back when I had my STi. He hit me up the other day after I mentioned buying another set of wheels from someone and offered me a deal I just couldn't pass up on these beauties! Best decision I've made so far as mods go.

Did you ever have rubbing issues on the front strut? I have a similar setup in the works... not sure if I'll clear after -2+ degrees of camber.

Did you ever have a chance to do some spirited driving/hard corners with this?

Gray car, gold wheels, and blue exhaust tips. Its a bit much. Get some polished tips, the blue looks childish. This car would have a more racecar look to it, with some polished tips.

Love the wheels.

Sorry for the delayed response, I rarely check the forums anymore lol. I don't have any issues with clearance to the factory front strut however, there is a very small gap. If you were to try and get that amount of camber with jut adjustment bolts you would surely contact the strut. Only other option would be to try and find some adjustable camber plates for the front struts. I run the factory alignment on mine for now. I have done several autox events, spirited mountain drives in NC, and several trips on the Tail of the Dragon and surrounding roads... I absolutely love the way it handles! Planning on a track day Labor Day weekend and I'm stoked!

The blue tips do stand out a bit in this pic for some reason but not as attention grabbing in person. I also was able to snag this exhaust for free off a car that was traded in where I work sooooooo I'll take the blue tips.
