nope, won't fit. u will have some major fender issues. i.e. can turn the wheel all the way, it will rub while trying to turn into an inclined driveway, etc.

It all depends on your offset. Jinsei is running a 10.5" rim in the front.

Offset, wheel width, tire brand and lowered all come into play.

well ok if you buy an 18" wheel and are sitting high like a 4 wheeler than fine. no wonder you don't have any rubbing issues.

i have a 20x9.5 in front and i rub fender all the time going up driveways. i guess the op had to be a bit more specific. i guess it's all about offset. but, why go so wide in the front anyway? to me it just seems like a lot of headaches.




i had 19x9.5 (carrera wheel) on a porsche boxster with stretched tires. it fit but had major issues turning and driving into driveways.

look at your front tire. it belongs on a bippu(vip style) car. no wonder you can't drop your car. it's too wide in the front. the worst thing is that you rear tire looks like it doesn't stick out as much as the front. i don't know about running 10" in the front. don't mean to dis your car or anything, i love advans. but, i still think the op will have probs if he doesn't roll the fenders.

lol....just because my car isn't "dumped" doesn't mean it's not lowered. i'm lowered on hotchkis and BTW, to this day, i have NEVER rubbed with this set-up.

short recap:
Nevaland90 - 19x10 +20 offset/tire size ?/car is slammed/NO RUBBING
ppw350Zunit - 18x10 +14 offset/265-35 tires/car is lowered .5 inch/NO RUBBING

Width is just only one of the factors that will determine if a wheel will fit, there is the offset, tire size, and most importantly the ride height and camber.

^^+1 why would you want to go with a 10 in the front anyways?? save that for the rear...your best bet is to find the same offset as someone else running a 10 in front and try to mimic the setup including drop, wheel size, offset, and maybe even a spacer to get you away from the strut tower.

I run an 18x9.5 +22 front with 255/40 , lowered with 1.5 camber no problem. I wish my wheel was available in 18x10, i have a little room on each side to go wider.
