I just pick up a set 17/18. I am going to do something to it that has never been done as in finish. There is Black chrome, Silver, Bronze, Glossy Black and Gun Metal finish. I have never seen this finish that I'm about to do. This might be the next big thing. :wink:
Can't wait to see what you have in store...
Question to the experts, I have my rears @ 18x8.5 ... currently running 265 / 35 ... it would be safe to go 275 /35?
Thanks Experts!
Thanks Experts!
Absolutely Oscar.
Thanks dude!
The actual experts (the manufacturers of tires) will tell you that the approved rim widths for a 275/35-18 is 9.0-11.0 inches. I'm not sure of all of the criteria evaluated to determine the approved rim widths but I know that at least one of them, and likely the most critical, is safety.
You may also want to consider what a 275 section tire would look like on an 8.5" rim and whether you would like it.
Just another opinion... But I've got the tire manufacturers on my side

I think he should be safe because his wheel I strongly believe is an 18x9 not an 18x8.5 because to my understanding Advan never made 18x8.5 Model 5's unless the are custom made.. According to this chart anyways.

What are the sizes/offsets ?
Forged? Lol!

18x9 35mm offset (275/35's)
Bought them from Chris (without tires) here;

Here is my 17/18 model 5's. Just got done striping and sand blasting off the original finish getting it ready for the "NEW" finish. Damn, these things still looks good even when bare aluminum

Lol that looks awesome as is! I'm curious re your sizes and offsets, ESp. Considering the downforce fenders you run
Does anybody have specs on the socket screws for M5 center caps? Thanks.
