Advan AVS Model 5's, where are you at?

What size is the black one using on the front?

17x8", and IIRC 35mm offset.
Those are mounted with 235/40's under Cantrell Concepts 30mm wider front fenders.

(oh, BTW that car is Midnight Pearl with a matte clearcoat ;-)

Oh wow nice.. I'm surprised that the 17x8 is so flush with the wide fender.. My front wheels are 18x9 but I put 215/35 .. I will probably change to 225/35 since the tire is pretty stretched right now

There is some minor rub at full lock I'll address, but IF I could have found some 225/40's for up front that would have been my 1st choice.
Here's another view.

When I purchased my wheels they came with no valve stems. I'm looking for some red or black valve stems that would look good with these wheels. Any advice?

Thanks!

I don't like the rubber valve stems the tire shop gave me lol
 
^^Wheel Whore^^:biggrin:
 
Thanks to Steve (Sduff@Composites), I was able to source a set of 18s for the rear. I had previously been running 17s all around but I really wanted to run a staggered setup and I think it came out great - subtle but noticeable difference. I also switched from 10mm to 15mm spacers which pushed the wheel perfectly flush with zero rub. Before and after pics are below.

For anyone interested, my rears will be for sale soon (17x9, +40 offset). What I think is particularly unique about the 17x9s is that they have multiple fitment applications. They can of course be used for rear fitment for anyone wanting to keep the look of the OEM 02+ wheels, but given their offset they can also be used up front for anyone running widebody or the DF wide front fenders.


Before (excuse the shadows):




After:

 
I made a super quick video showing my model 5s..
