i love the haters - advan t7? this is about as legit as japanese wheels get.
mind you the wheel has been a favorite of lower end cars too, why?
bc advan was smart enough to make sizes that fit most at reasonable prices.

Maybe it's an Advan thing, I had 8.5+32/9.5+42 and they didn't seem that bad to me (before I knew what offsets were):


If you have the means, sell those and get something with more desirable offsets. If you're stuck on T7s, "st350z" is selling brand new gunmetal T7s (18x10+15 all around) for an ridiculous price.

I can assist you with function. Function and fit and clearance.

I can not assist with looks. You decide what looks cool and what does not.

The reason why it doesn't look that bad is that you're running 18x9 and 18x10 on a concave wheel.

I would suggest a 15mm spacer all around but you will need to modify your rear fenders as Aloh suggested.

I am running 19x8.5 +25 and 10.5 +32 and plan to install 15mm spacers all around. But they sit just fine without spacers.

With your offsets, you could try running 265/35 295/35 tire setup and might not even need spacers to sit more flush.

the width of your wheels changes the offsets dramatically, a 10.5" wide wheel with exact same offset of 8.5" wheel will set more then 25mm wider/closer to fender. remeber 25mm is about an inch so your wheel being a 10" wide changes the offset as in how it appears not actual offset...confused yet?

i believe its about half...so a 10" wide rim with +30 offset will sit about the same flushness as 9" wide rim with about +12 offset...get it????


i may be a little off but with all the experience ive had with wheels this is a well educated guess

Save the money from the spacers and buy new wheels if you are trying to get into the aggressive scene.

Cheers guys, bought some Eibach spacers but unfortunately didnt fit the wheels, The nuts that bolt the spacer to the hubs were not flush on the spacer therefore the wheel wouldnt mount correctly.

I think the kic's ones are flush arent they?

Look into Ichiba V1 spacers or any other spacer that requires you to replace the stud.

proves my point....the 11" wide wheels make his offset reall look like a real low offset.....someone with id say 19x9.5 wheel and +10 offset would be same flushness as you...niiice....


half of 25 is about 12 - 5mm spacer - half of 12 for the other .5 wheel width is 6

so

+33-12-5-6=+10


im a genius!

yep. a lot of wheels don't work with spacers that have built in studs. get a set that come with longer replacement studs. little more work, but it's all you can do.

they guy with the 9.5" wide rim would actually stick out 4mm than him.. but then you have to figure in camber.. so that 9.5" could actually not stick out as much as the 11" wide rim.. OR it could stick out even more than 4mm past the 11" wide rim... so many variables
