Ordered my Advans (super ver.2) back in oct.12th. The D1GP gunmetal rims are the only other set in the us. I had to BEG Advan to dothat color for me. only japan color! got my 18x9-front w/+15 offset & 18x10-rearw/-8 offset. Before to freak out, I'm running a widebody kit! My new brakes finally came in also. Rotora 6piston front calipers w/15inch slotted rotors & 4piston rear calipers w/14inch rotors!



The rims are going to be in the us on Feb.22nd & I'll post pics when they are here!

WARNING......Rotors look little on websites!!!

They should sell these brakes with goggles to keep your eyesballs from becoming projectiles. Holy crap!

are you sure thats + and not - in front

because with +15 front you dont need overfenders at all, thats a nice fit on stock fenders, but you will need 30s for the rears...and stock fenders in front with widebody and much wider stance in rear will look awful funny

if it truly is +15, youd better get to more begging to change it to something more like -10, or else youre going to be running 1 inch spacers on each of the front wheels so that itll look right

also, i hope you confirmed that these will clear your brakes first, or youll be running spacers regardless

I had the brake set-up all measured before the rims were ordered. Everything should fit just fine! The +15 is just what I needed! BUT I guess we'll see

thats what im saying, the 10 -8 in the rear is going to NEED over fenders, but if you run them in the front with that size it wont look right, and youre going to end up having stock front fenders and 30mm rear overfenders, itll look funny
