Hi everyone I want to pull the trigger and buy either Advan RS or RZ in 17" on my "00 silverstone AP1, and plan on running F225/ R245 or 255...

Ive searched alot but am still not sure what offsets and sizes wont rub, Im at stock height and dont plan on lowering, rolling fender/relocating tab etc... Please help!!!

If you go with 225 fronts, go with 255 rears. 225/245 gives a bigfronts/littlerears look.

Tons of people will insist that you can rock +35 or less offset, but stick with +45 or more to avoid problems, and with +45s I'd probably stick with 215 front tires. Camber will help some, don't be shy about running upwards of -2degrees or more even.

Advan RS 17 x 8.5 + 50 fronts, 225 tire. Very flush with front fender but no rubbing. I'm lowered but not crazy low.

So if i go F17x8 +45 215/ R17x9 +45 should i go rear 245 or 255? Also negative camber is necessary for even tire wear correct?

Im not lowered though, zdan was suggesting a 215 tire in the front w neg. camber, but wont a 225 fill up the front wheel well more? And i do understand that it also depends on the wheel size to pick the correct tire right? Or else it will give that "pinched look" or will look too narrow which i kinda want to avoid, id much rather have the meaty wide tire look especially in the back!

225s are a little stretched on an 8.5 inch rim, but when I burn through these, I'm going to try a 245. I have over fenders on the rear so I can't help you there. My front size should clear most bbks as they work on my Stoptechs.

Is there anyone whos had expierence with advan wheels? Jim @ tirerack maybe?

I run Advan RS 17x9 +45 all around with a 225/255 tire setup. Before I dropped them on coilovers, I had no problems with rubbing on virgin fenders. Wheel gap is horrible imo, but it's your choice.

Hhhmmm i see your point benihana but i wanna run a 1" or 1.5" staggered setup looks better imo however i might do something in the near future about the wheel gap.
