Anyone have any experience with advan ao48's?

Also considering using wheel spacers for autox events, already have the extended wheel studs. Any opinions?

No experience with the Yok's.

I'm personally not a fan of using wheel spacers because I think if you're going to do it, you may as well do it right and buy wheels with the proper offset in the first place. That said, a lot of guys use them very successfully.

Eh, already have the studs and a very nice light set of wheels. Just curious how thick I should go? And should I do the front and back the same?
Will be running my 94 integra in sm.

I wouldn't run any more than you need for clearance.

I have never been a fan of spacers, but I had to use them in order to run larger brakes. I was worried about the wheels vibrating, but haven't experienced any vibrations what so ever. I say go for the spacers.

I am running 1" spacers.

I don't have any experience with advans, but I ran A032R's a few years back and I loved them. I have heard that the 048's are great tires, but the price will probably keep them out of my garage.

Ehh, just realized they don't make any of the advans in the size I need. Looks like azenis or hankooks for now.
