Advan Center Caps and Advan A052 Qs

[Quano]

Hey, sorry if these question seem stupid but I couldn't really find an answer for these two questions. I'll give some background info first.

Wheels are Advan RZ-F2 18x9.5 +44
Car has Coilovers, VF front fenders (+20mm)

1. Does anyone know if the Advan "Full Flats" will fit over the axle nut?
I know the "flats" will fit but I rather have the flush look.

2. Has anyone tried running 265/35/18 Advan A052 yet?
I'm asking this because I know these tires are bigger than the RE-71 (No known rubbing problems) and wondering if there are any rubbing issues. I can always run 255/35/18 if needed.

If there any info i left out. Let me know and I'll add it if I can get a better answer. I tried to get straight to the point without adding any unecessary info.

Thanks for reading and appreciate any help.

I'm on 225/45/17 A052's coming from the same size RE-71R. I was concerned about fitment since they're known to run wide and I'm on the stock suspension.


On the RE-71's, I had 1-2mm of gap between the front strut on +53 17x.75 wheels. With going to the +48 stock ones and adding a 3mm spacer, the A052's have plenty of room. The spacer wasn't really needed and there's at least 5-7mm of clearance, if not more. Long story short, they're probably only 1-2mm wider than the RE-71R's where it counts. Now the Falken RT660's on the other hand... those run wide for sure. You'd want to downgrade a size with those.


Not really direct experience with 265's, but moral of the story is I didn't think the Yoks ran as wide as everyone claims. They do look a little balloned for their sidewalls vs the straightness of the RE-71R, but that might the bead area sitting more inward. Tires are weird.
