Default Advan GT Premium question.



I’m deciding to get the Advan Gt Premium. My question is I don’t want to lose horsepower. Will I lose HP if I go 20’s or should I get 19’s so I won’t lose HP. I’m going with lowering springs by Tanabe to fix the front from being higher than the back. Any advice would be appreciated thank you.

I don't know about losing horse power because of wheel diameter... you will however lose performance during acceleration.

That loss will be compensated by top end Speed performance.

One other thing u may want to keep in mind is the weight of wheels. You may have a larger running circumference... but the reduction in weight might work for you and gain u performance numbers

Go 19s for performance.

Contact us for pricing on the wheels and the Tanabe springs!

You won't lose HP going 20's if you are using the same over all diameter as your OEM 19's( 26" front and 26.6" rear). It will only affect your acceleration if you mate the 20's with taller tires . In fact since the ADVAN GT'S are lighter them the OEM BBS, it will actually improve your acceleration.
