Its actually about the same weight as the stock rims. Only the BBS rims that come off of the Evos are significantly lighter (about 17.7lbs)

Thanks for the help
if you're still watching this thread i think i figured out why i was clearing without the spacers. when putting them back on today i looked at the fender liner that surrounds the strut tower and that thing is beat to hell... its all pushed in and whatnot. probably from when my car was rubbing when i had people sitting in the back

I'm looking into a set of 17x7 +35 wheels. tires will most likely be 205/40 or 215/40. car isnt lowered

will i need to roll the fenders or will spacer be fine? this is for a friend's 02 ES

I'm running 17x8.25 and just needed to roll and spacer. Just wondered if we needed to do that to their car.

I'm running 17x7 +40 Enkei Rpm2's on 215/45r17 Bridgestone Potenza's. I get slight rubbing in the rear going overbigbig bumps but with people in the car I rub like crazy.

So it'd be even worse with +35? :/ looks like we need to roll then... Are spacers needed?

Hi Keith, refresh my memory please, are you lowered ?
If so, what is your suspension set up ?

This is with 4 (200 lb) people in the car. Close to the door is where it rubs. It's hard to explain. I'll take more pictures later because I left my phone in my locker at school. lol.
