Advant Garde M510. Nice.

Now, however are you going to figure out which lug nuts to use?

If only there were a thread where this was discussed ad nauseam...

I got them in machined silver finish, given the color of my car. They come with lugs, but if I don't like them, I still have my Muteki lugs.

Nice choice Anthony, what are your wheel sizes/offsets and your tire specs? Should be a nice look, and a bit easier on the wallet than those SSRs. I'm surprised you had such a fitment problem as they usually offer plenty of offsets

19"x8.5 +35
19"x9.5+40

245/40/19
275/35/19

The SSR's I was looking at were used and a local deal. His wires are 305's, and would require me to pull the fenders or else use some crazy camber. This setup will be a little sunken, but I might use spacers to push it out if it bothers me.

Oh, I thought you had a choice w/ the SSR offsets, hence my confusion

Those AGs look to be sedan offsets, if you're wanting something a bit more flush I would have gone another 10mm less positive for a +25F/+30R or even a +25 for both, but nothing that can't be brought out later if you want w/ spacing.

Too spokey. Maybe if those paired spokes were solid, like TE37TTA's

It's too JDM for me. I need a more subtle approach. Lol.



I don't remember who's car this was, but this is gorgeous..

And this is the only G that I've seen with the 510s; and it's a LP.

Nope, since Johnny recalibrated his dyno, it came in at 283, which is similarly unrepresentative. To clarify, I've had my car dynoed 3 times, and tuned twice. The first pull was on a tune with bolt on's and pulled 278. I then switched intakes and pulled 319 a week later, same dyno, same tuner. Then Johnny recalibrated his dyno some months later and I pulled 283. The 319 dyno is MIA and it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to get it. Either way, they don't mean anything.

I bought TSW Snettertons when I first bought my G even though I wanted GT30's but I did not have enough for them at the time... I eventually had to get them anyways and honestly am going to be really sad to get rid of them. Its all about how bad you want things in the end I guess...

If you would have told me that I would be as financially deep into my G when I first bought it as I am now; I would have laughed at you and said you were out of your mind... turns out it was me who was out of my mind in the end...
20's are way to big if you really drive your car and not just park it for show. IMO 19's are pushing it.
