Alas' wheels' new owner chiming in. :biggrin:
Before any suspension tweaks the tires were touching the fender liners at rest! :O
Need to raise the front maybe a quarter of an inch to prevent rubbing over large dips.
Only bad thing now, is that the 18/19s made my car a lot higher. The rear looks like a 4x4. Desperately need side skirts and a rear valence. I guess it's good that I don't scrape frame over speedbumps though. Too bad I already cracked my front lip, and only after 3 days of driving.

^ looks GREAT
Hey guys I am getting my Model 5's back tomorrow and can't wait to see the out come. It will be the first and only set of Model 5's in this new finish that I am doing. :wink:

Here are the Caps. Had to take it off and apart to redo the center outer rings as well. :smile:

JS2k - what sizing and offsets did you get again? Looks really good! and that wheel gap is hardly 4x4. It's respectable!
I had no idea these were for sale and your so close to me. I think I may throw up.:frown:M4 x 8mm

Wheels are 18x8 ET30 and 19x10ET19 refinished in hypersilver.

Sorry David. JS2K had brand new Advan RSii wheels available so we made the swap.
18x8.5+40, GTR Face, Hyper Black
19x10+35, GTR Face, Hyper Black
I still miss the Model 5s but have a smaller set refinished in hypersilver (17x7 ET35 and 18x9 ET35). Have not decided if I will keep or sell my 17/18 set. These are great for looks and performance along with a ton of tire options.

I'm even closer and dropped my jaw!
Didn't realize anyone was really interested in my set. I know where you can get another set in the same offsets.

Ask locals Jose, anywho the new owner is a Central America resident
What do you guys think about my Model 5's new finish? Bright Silver with a Machine face/lip. The only Advan AVS Model 5's in this finish :biggrin:. Here's a few picture I took after I came home from picking them up. It look so nasty outside today that the picture doesn't really show the shine of the wheels and how nice it really looks. I will take better pictures once I get the tires mount and balance.
All 4 wheels.
Front two.
Two rears.

Here is a couple more picture of the wheels test fitted on the car :biggrin:. Pretty damn flush if you ask me. Lowered on Kw's Coilover. 1.5' drop.

Picture of the front test fitting.
- - - Updated - - -
Front sticks in 1/2 of an inch from my DF fenders and the rears sticks in a less than a 1/4 or maybe a 1/4 of and inch from the rear fenders. With those Advan AD08 wide tires they should make it sit really nice and flush. :wink:
Pictures be up tomorrow after it get mounted.

18x8 +30 and 19x10 +19 is the perfect flush fitment IMO. They look just aggressive enough without any issues with fitment. I didn't even have to dial in any extra camber.
Although I'm thinking about trying more negative camber in the rear and lowering it more. The fronts are a lost cause since there's not much room even if you add more camber. Still need to raise the front a quarter inch to avoid rubbing.
Haha, even though I was in the preorder for the RSiis, the Model 5s bugged the crap out of me every time I saw a picture. I wasn't going to consider any trades, but Jose offered the ONE wheel I wanted.
Just so people aren't misled, I want to clarify that JS2K means, "Perfect flush fitment in HIS situaton" This may not work for all people. It all depends on current camber/tire brand/size/ride height, etc. I definitely cannot pull off +19 in my rear.
Why not with a lil camber I think you can .
So what are your final offsets?
I can't run that kind of setup either. +19 on a 10" would sit on my fender at my optimal alignment.
Not taking away from anyone's setup... I like less camber in the rear and at least a 255-275 tire.
