New Wheels: Advan Sa3 Ver.1 18x8.5/9.5 +35

[sumthaiguy]

got my wheels in the mail. they are advan sa3 version 1's

F: 18x8.5 +35
R: 18x9.5 +35 effectively

215/40/18 Federal 595ss all around

rolled fenders

had a blow out during thanksgiving, and without a spare to run on (my spare was flat. borrowed a friends spare but didnt want to put miles on it) i had to go ahead and mount the 2 new tires that i did have on 2 of the wheels. so thats why all 4 arent on. enough with the talk here are some pictures:

I only rub when i go up stuff like driveways. but its a SUPPPPEERRR slight rub. i wouldnt even consider it rub. id say its like a graze

In the last picture, is that the 18x8.5's on? Shoot, you need more camber!

 

[5-4-fighting]

Sorry but thumbs down on the wheels and the slammed suspension. What's important is that you like it.

 

[CnoTataymo]

He's not tracking or auto'xing so being slammed don't matter to him. He's going to stance/look.

 

[sumthaiguy]

nope, those are both 18x9.5's. the 8.5's are still in the box awaiting tires.
lol im on stock camber arms. i dont know how much i can push them XD. i need more camber and lower offset. im thinking of slapping another, slightly bigger spacer on there. but maybe not cuz im rubbing the tiniest bit right now. if i add a spacer itll rub a little more.

He's not tracking or auto'xing so being slammed don't matter to him. He's going to stance/look.

but i am going for track and auto-x. you mean this isnt the ideal racing setup!? hahaha jk


the wheel/tire/suspension setup is exactly what im going for. i actually want to go lower and wider + lower offset wheels. but i am dealing with what ive got. i know the wheel choice isnt for everyone. lol ive prepared myself for haters when decided to get them. this is the style im going for.

 

[CnoTataymo]

Sure isn't ideal for track/auto'x. Haha.

So pictures 3-6 are with spacers? They look more spaced out.

 

[sumthaiguy]

yea all of those pics are with spacers.

i had to use spacers to clear the hub. we have a big ass hub lol. size on the actual wheel is a +42 offset. but i used a 7mm spacer to clear the hub so the wheel would sit flat and fit properly. lol i thought it was a 10mm but i measured it and it came out 7mm. Note to self: stupid mexican shop spacers arent in correct increments.

Wow. I usually HATE 3-spokes but you made them work very well. Looks nice man. And the stance is wicked awesome.

 

[_MSprotegy]

I HATE YOU RIGHT NOW. car looks good. so what did you do with the enkies?

 

[redaxelaspeed]

get the fronts on cuz it looks to ricey right now.but i love the look of the rear! what suspension are u runnin?

 

[Huligan]

it snowed in houston? brrrr!

 

[sumthaiguy]

haha thanks for the compliments guys! lol i feel like an idiot rolling around on 2 stockers and 2 advans but i cant do anything about it. i got a blow out so i had to put them on or else i wouldnt have a car to drive.

enkei's are sold lol. sold them a while ago to fund these wheels. which were insanely cheap. so i didnt have to go out of pocket that much.

and yea its so cold, it snowed in Houston.

last pic of the snow before it melts.
