Front: outer side same as before, inner side clearance 12mm less
Rear: outer extend 11mm, inner side clearance 1mm less.
In short, the centre line of the front is smaller while that of the rear is larger. Any other thread(s) discussing about the performance of such setup you can recommend?
The only thing good about these Advan wheels is weight-to-price ratio. They are one of the lightest although they are not forged. Advan RS II looks not as good as old Advan RS because they subtract some metal from the sides of the spoke, completely destroyed the cool, simple form of the old Advan RS.

Yes you are right, center is little deeper for rear, but the overall shape and design is same for front and rear.
I've seen these wheels on a car which is tracked regularly, the guy was very happy with them. He has got these wheels for the last 4 years or so.
Recently, I got a tire damaged due to potholes, but nothing happened to the wheel, not even out of balance.
So far so good...here is the pic of my gunmetal wheels.
