Advan GT Wheels … Conflicting Opinions … Need Advice
So I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger and ordering a set of Advan GT wheels. These are expensive puppies so I want to ensure the right sizing. I do not intend to lower the car and I'm not interested in an overly aggressive look with a lot of poke. After working through a number of wheel offset calculations, I'm looking at the following:
Front: 19 x 9.5 +30. These will extend out about 23 mm further than the stock Rays. Rear: 19 x 10.5 +15 OR 19 x 10.5 +25. I'm undecided on which would look best. The +15's will extend out about 21 mm further than the stock wheels (pretty closely matching the front) … the +25's will stick out about 11 mm further than the stock wheels. Although I'm leaning toward the +15's, a couple of vendors are recommending the +25's based on their experience. Another vendor has suggested the +15s. So opinions on the rears are mixed. I'm looking for any input from those of you who have gone through the process of choosing wheel offsets, especially anyone with Advan GTs. Thanks in advance! Oh, front tires will be 245/40 R19, and rears 285/35 R19. |

go with the +15 you will not regret it and you can run as big and fat of a tire as you want without issue...

Thanks for this. I recall another member making the same suggestion after he had purchased a similar set of 19 x 10.5 Advans for the rear with a +22 offset. He wished he had gone with +15. I'll see what others have to say. Maybe one or more of the vendors will comment based on their experience. I realize that the fitment comes down to personal taste at the end of the day, but they might be able to provide some direction in terms of what they think would work best with the 19 x 9.5 +30 front wheels. Thanks again!

I happen to be selling a set of GT Premiums at a steep discount. The specs may be a little aggressive for you, but if you don't intend on lowering your car or plan on running 30/25 profile tires they would probably be perfect. Let me know if youre interested. Price is OBO.
