Not ballin with advans, but these fit the bill nicely. At their price, if anything happens they're easily and affordable to replace.

Superspeed rr03 - 18x8.5, 18.1lbs each, flow formed and ball seated. The only thing that doesn't make these perfect is that they're hub bore is 66.6mm. So rings are required.

Try switching the rears to the front.

Why?

Why?

Unlikely that it will fit without spacers is all.

Yes, but I wanted the 35 offset. I ran spacers on 45 offset wheels on my last car and didn't want to bother this time around.

Nice. Is this new? When I checked last year, they didn’t offer the 57.1 cb.

Beats me about age of these but to the post before, but I doubt you can comfortably run a 235/40, 35 ET without ever rubbing.

Yeah, I think 35et is too aggressive if you have a drop of any amount.

As for the 57.1cb, looks like it’s also available in black or bronze, for both RF03rr and RF05rr styles. Nice and gives me something to consider...

I'm going to try to run some 245/40's. The car is "lowered" on mss track springs and running 034 camber mounts in the front. I suspect the screw mod will be mandatory, but I'm not slamming the car by any means... I doubt I'll even get a 25mm drop in the front.

This person is running those wheels in 35 ET.

I almost did the same thing with the last wheels I bought, but for resale I ended up with the +45s. If you're much lower, have any caster adding front suspension components, run a fat tire, or don't like any poke in the rear, +35s are a harder sell.

Also, because of the rear subframe offset I've always run 5mm less on my passenger side, and a +35 will be a bit more obvious because of poke.

I completely understand the goal of +35s and no spacers, just some things to consider.

You probably won't even have to do the fender screw mod. I ran 245/40r18 with those same mounts and no rubbing ever. That was on coilovers at 25.25" fender to ground.

EDIT: Just realized you want to go ET35. That changes everything.

 

[burgerkong]

I run 245/40R18 on my BBS GT2s which have an offset of ET35. Lowered on MSS as well, 034 plates. It. Works.

 

[NopeR]

Are you lowered all the way down in the front & back? I've got Swift springs for the rear which are apparently better overall and give more adjustability than the track springs mss sells.
