Thumbs up Advan wheel offset help?

Hello all,

I live in the UK and i have recently acuired (very cheaply) a full set of Super Advan Racing Vol 2's.
But there 17x9 all round and have an offset of +35 do any of you guys know if they would fit a AP2 S2k..? if not would they fit with spacers..?
im pretty sure that will fit on the rear but the front im not to sure, dont want to shell out on tyers if there never going to fit.

any help would be great

cheers

Even with an agressive fender roll in the front... you're most likely going to rub. To give you an idea. I run 17x9" wheels in the front.. .but they are +63. And offset of +35 will essentially push them out 28mm more. You *might* be able to fit them in the front with a lot of camber. Not functional camber.. Although, if you stretch some 225's on there instead of running something like a 245 you might not have any problems.

In the rear... you'll fit. +45 on Enkei RPF-1's fit on my AP2 no problem. I didn't even have a fender roll. I was running 245's in the rear.

Hope that helps.

Thanks mate thats a real help

I thought the front was going to be the issue.. i guess its just going to come down to trial and error..
iv got fully adjustable suspention with ride height so i may be able to bump her up abit with a stretched set of rubbers on there but we will see...

The fronts will fit if you run 4-4.5 degrees of negative camber. Your front fenders will also have to be aggressively flared. The rears you won't have to worry so much Much easier to fit. The good news is you have adjustable suspension so if it rubs then you can just raise it. It might look a little goofy but at least it won't rub.

Heres a picture of a my old setup. My fronts were 17x8 +25 which is the same as a 17x9 +37. I had a mild fender flare and -2.5 camber with non streached tires (225/40 on an 8" wheel) and had no fitment issues. The rear wheels are 17x9 +35 with 245/40 tires. -2.8 camber, and rear fender roll with relocated bumper tab.
