Can't seem to figure out which offset to use in order to clear big brakes like Stoptech/Rotora
The advans have an offset of 45 for the 18x7.5 wheel, which in my opinion will not clear the calipers
The 18x8 has an offset of 37 which could work , but don't know if the wheel is going to be too wide for the front.
Somebody has any experience with this issue?, please help me out, desperately want the advans.
there has to be a solution, according to this picture

Thanks

 

WoW, what front clip is that??

 

Spoon!!!

 

WOW....i've seen pics before but that pic is siiiiccccck!!!!
What a beautiful bumper.........

I am running Advan A048's 225/40 front and 265/35 rear. They will RUB with these size tires that I am running so you would need to roll your fenders for the front and rear. Advan recommends the 18x7.5 front but does not clear BBK such as Spoon, Stoptech's, Project U and even the Endless and would need about 8-10mm spacers. Wilwoods are the only BBK that clears with no spacers.</TD></TR></TABLE>

No rub depend how far you lower. No spacer for the Spoon, Wilwood, Rotora, Stoptech, and Brembo. Not sure about the Project Mu. For the Endless BBK need 5mm spacer.</TD></TR></TABLE>

 

i believe thats 45 offset but it fits the stop tech cuz i has different spoke design from the old advans ...

my old advans doesnt clear it at all

 

I haven't seen that front end on a street car yet. I like it. Fits really well.

 

that front looks nice on black.. but it looks ugly on other colors.. (my opinion)

 

True. I didn't like the model car they showed in New Imola.

i agree but it still looks ugly...10 bucks says ppl like it just b/c its 'spoon.'

 

No.... because it has foglamps.
