AD08R and A052 are top contenders in 265/35 width, but also considering RE71r or the 'ole stalwart PS4S in 275/35 form. Since I already have PS4S on my 18s and I'm not all that thrilled about what i'd give up with wet traction on re71rs, it's probably going to come down to Yokos.

Do the V105s run wide like the other Advan options?
I think 265/35 is available...I'm on 255/40. I got good feedback from the AD08's being pretty good in the rain as well. The RE71's should only be track / Summer tires...it becomes a bar of soap when the pavement gets wet :)

Thanks dude. Looks like at least through TireRack, they don't have 265/35 in the V105 right now, but I'm reading about the A052 and it's very competent in the wet and an excellent dry street/track tire. Since these won't be tasked with thousands of miles a year, they are the leader in the clubhouse. The Re71R is simply an exercise in trying to get a 275 tire on the car and I'm probably just going overboard there. 265 is a good balance - a little shorter overall than I'd like but that's ok.

I think you're good to go...with the RM's offset (44mm ?), there be no rubber what so ever! I wish I didn't have this van build I'm doing :drool:

Yep it’s mine, just put the wheels on a few days ago. Thanks!

Glad to hear you’re set on white Regas. I originally wanted that setup but it was way out of my price range and a +45 wasn’t aggressive enough for me.

It’ll definitely look good, can’t wait to see it! I haven’t seen an Aegean Blue on Desmonds yet.

Why wouldn’t they be good for street use? The wheels are made for track use so they’re durable. Combined with a 35 or 40 sidewall they’ll be more than strong enough for the street.

don't mind the crappy pics. i suck at it. going to try and get some better pics soon. autox season for us is over until July so I'll be putting them back once i get a chance to wash car.. these are my daily (on 4s) and my titans (on re71s) are for autox. Just been lazy to put the evos back on.

DAAAAAAMN. I’m jealous haha. That looks amazing man! I’d definitely recommend you get them ceramic coated before you throw them back on the car, it helps so much with cleaning.

Greetings from Eastern Europe. Did some work on this weekend, installed Swift springs, window visors, made a custom exhaust with a PRL dp and finally the weather was perfect to wash and detail it. Now waiting for a proper tune, because not that happy with Ktuner Stage 1.

I recently put on 2 coats ceramic, hopefully should be way easier to keep clean. Once autox season starts up again i'll be able to give it a good cleaning at least once a month since i'll be switching rims each race.

I really like those wheels! What are the specs if you don't mind sharing?

@MTB looks amazing. What tire brand are you running?
Testing out some cheap semi slick tires, this brand is Zeknova, but really surprised how these perform. Currently very popular at our country for trackdays.
Rims are made by an EU company called Concept Wheels.
