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

[mahaza88]

I am going to be rolling on the same sizes and offsets soon as well. Except mine will be a custom dark ghost chrome color. How do the 265's fit. I was thinking of going 255/35

The 265's rear fits fine. No rubbing or touching wheel arc for me if thats your concern.

However, I'm not sure if going 255/35/18 will cause the TCS activation or not.

Comparing Front to Rear wheel diameter ratio, the original tire sizes (for 1991 model) has ratio of 0.928.
I know a ratio of 0.938 or 0.940 works and doesn't cause TCS activation.
But a ratio of 0.993 does!!

With the 215/40/17 F and 255/35/18 R, the ratio will be 0.949 or 0.950

Perhaps someone might know or has used this combination before

Looks good!

I'm pretty surprised no one wants my 18/19 setup

Me too, thought it might be price or it might be the really aggressive offset.

+1 on the aggressive rear offset. perhaps you can shave the rear hub face -5mm? Not sure if the M5s have that kind of room back there though.

If anybody wants me to get the hub machined I can it will be another $75 bucks.

The Model 5 is Discontinued Wheel; the T5 is a different design, which is currently being manufactured.

 

[jonathandvis04]

Jonathan - The set you have for sale are the early generation AVS Model 5s. There was a revision to this design that is the topic of this thread. The T5 is a totally different wheel entirely.

Early Model 5 (Your set)

Last Model 5 (topic of this thread)

Currently available T5

---------------------------------
Just to prove these wheels are not All Show. We conducted an all-day dyno session to test out the RS*R Ran Up (oil additive) product. Some surprising and positive results to share soon.

with small detail changes to the T5 and the drastic change from the first model. the Model 5's are the best. That small tappered design and center face area makes a huge diff.

 

[jonathandvis04]

guess its all about taste , i like the first version better , looks cleaner and the 2 version looks more like the t5 , maybe it was a thing of weight , gotta check the early ones and compare to the second ,i guees now i gotta become a wheel whore cause im going for the lmgt4s and have to keep these ones
