ADVAN RGII What do you guys think? need spacers in the back?

just picked up ADVAN RGII, they are 17x7.5 w/ 45 Offset so they dont sit flush so ima thinking either put some 15mm hubcentric spacers in the back or slammin it a little more.

IMO for appearence wise the rims need to be 18inch, the car needs a drop, and like your saying wheel spacers. i have the same color 5.5gen i was thinking about gold wheels but i don like the way the gold looks with merlot. idk jus my opinion but def. wheel spacers and take some more pictures too lol and if you want rear mud gaurds i have them there already painted Merlot becuase there off my car. let me know

Im not feelin the gold. things to make it better would be the drop, def get his mudgaurds, and sand those rims down and have them painted any color but gold. i think a polished aluminum would look way better.

Personal preference - like or dislike - That's not the OP's question.

Definately get spacers on the rear. Those seem to sit farther in than the stock SE rims. 15mm at a minimum...

Needs the correct size tires and 20mm rear spacers. Those look like 225/45 series tires.

The wheels are nice and the color combo works great to be honest.

The wheels look great on Merlot. I think with a gold grille, you'll have a REALLY good look going on, but, in the future it def. wont look good with stock wheels.

It's the tires that really kill it right now. Get some 235/45s on there, and at least a 15mm in the rear, maybe a 10mm in the front. I think the color combo is great, and nice find on the Advans. Definitely a sweet looking wheel.

i think they look small because they are set so far in at the back once you get them pulled out they will look nice. Dont forget to get longer wheel studs to go with the spacer I would go with something like 25mm (about an inch) but that's just me eyeing it from the pic you put up
