Wheel Fitment Questions

I have been looking around at various wheels that will clear a 6 piston BBK, and I have always been very fond of the Advan AVS Model 5 Wheels and I was going to put them in Black. However a set of 4 cost around $2500, and I'd prefer to spend that money elsewhere, I found alternatives for under $800 for all 4 wheels. I want to know if the following specifications will fit a 2006 GT.

Size: 18x8

PCD: 5x114.3

ET: 42

Weight: 21.5lbs.

Here are some pictures of the $800 versions, the wheels on the NSX are the Advan JDM wheels.




These are some examples of the wheels and the BBK clearance, thanks for your help!

Quick little chop of the wheels on my GT. I would get them powdercoated black, however I'm not that good at photoshop. My first time using it..

I like them a lot and don't know if yours will fit, heres an example on my car of the 17 wheels and M+S runflats. I painted the centers silver because I didn't like the chrome center.

The wheels will fit the car, I won't promis brake clearance. I don't think you'kk be very happy with them. They are too narrow and it will look like your car is tip-toeing. If you MUST use only an 8" width, go for 30-35mm offset. That will push them towards the outside a bit, and it's much better than using a spacer to accomplish the same thing.

I did a little research, I am probably going to just save up and get the Advan Model 5's...

I can get them in 18x9 35/40/45 offset and 18x10 45 offset, which of these would be the best set-up, I want some meat on my tires

You could put that 18x10 on all four corners. It would fit. If you want a stagger, I'd go with the 40mm on the front to keep them "more evener" with the fenders.
