I've been searching through all the Advans Rs threads and most people specify the spec of the wheels but they do not specify the tire size or make & model that's why I can't come up with a solid decision . I've been looking for a pic of any evo that's lowered on Tein S Tech & Advans rs 18x9 +29 offset?

265/35/18 is the exact same diameter as the stock 235/45/17 tire size.

you wont find many people with advan rs and tein s techs.

advan rs.. nice wheels
tien s tech.. ****ty cheap springs.

witht hat being said, listen to everyone's advice. 255.35.18, or 265.35.18 and roll your fenders. 255.40 is too tall. your speedo/odometer will be off more,and doesnt look as good,

I run 18x9 +29 advan rs' w/ 255/35/18s. I had to roll my rear fenders to fit them. I am on KW's with a very mild drop. No rubbing whatsoever.

The Z1's will be a bit over $700 for a full set. I'd look at the Hankook V12's.
