Hi guys,

I've got Fawkner Wheels and Tyres calling me back on Monday regarding some Advanti Almera 18" wheels I'm keen on.

I asked about the offset, and they said it was +40, and allegedly fine on Subaru's. But, according to this thread*, +40 offset isn't compatible...

Does anyone know for a fact whether 18"x8" wheels with a +40 offset will fit on a MY08 GT without protruding past the guards, scrubbing, and will it fit around the brakes (stock brakes on my car)?

Edit: Another point I just thought of - are Advanti a reputable brand for wheels, or are they a bit cheap in terms of build/paint quality?

Thanks in advance.

First of all advanti are decent but not the best as for offset. 8 inch wide +40 should fit easy I know of multiple cars running +38 on 9.5s. They however stick out alittle.

18x8 +40 will fit with no problems at all. +35 would be a bit nicer in a 18x8 sizing.

I've never heard of any wheels not clearing standard gt brakes so Im pretty sure you're safe

Awesome, good to know.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking at 245/35 tyres for the new wheels as well, and looking to keep the same rolling height as when I was running the 17" rims with the 215/45 tyres. Are 245/35's the way to go?
