Hey guys
I decided earlier this week to pull the trigger and order some 18 x 9.5 wheels for my Ralliart. Place the order through Wheel Dude talk to Tommy he is very helpful and helped me out with a lot of advice and guidance. I've noticed that there are not too many RalliArt's with 9.5 inch rims on their cars I wanted to be different and decided to push the envelope. My question is can it be done I know anything can be done with work. Offset on the wheels is 30 I have already rolled my rear fenders and slight pulled them fronts will be rolled or cambered on the top mount of the coil over to allow for clearance. I'm currently running a Nitto NT555 235/40/18 I will be putting this tire on the new wheels. I just wanted to see if there was anyone else on this form that is running such an aggressive wheel like this on a RalliArt. I have seen many Lancer GTS is running 10.5 inch wheels with no issues so hopefully this works just a little nervous so wanted to see what you guys think. Thanks a lot for your opinion and advice.

Let me know how it goes for you. I want to upgrade my wheels to a bigger size too.

I run 18x9.5+10 on my Ralliart Sportback. Also I only run a 215/40/18 tire. That gives me a lot of the clearance needed to run such a wide aggressive wheel on the car without running camber arms. You can for sure get a 235/40/18 on there fitting and not rubbing but like you already said, you will need to have the fenders rolled and try to pull them as much as you can without hurting the car. Also to help fit that a lot better you can run a lot more camber in the rear by buying the Megan Racing Rear Camber Arms that say they are for the Lancer and not a Ralliart. They work exactly the same on the Ralliart. 100% mach and no issues with using them on a Ralliart. Only reason Megan Racing say they are not for the Ralliart is because the Part # for the factory part your replacing the camber arms with is different from the one on the Ralliart but they are 100% identical parts just with different part numbers from the factory because one is made for the Lancer and one for the Ralliart. Even though they are identical they require different part #'s from the factory. Hope that helps.

^car looks great BTW! was wondering if 18x9.5 would work, I have some enkei rpf1 rims that are +15mm offset and 45/45 tires, looks like it would be a tight fit.

I used to have 18x9.5 with 18 offset, and had to run -4deg camber at rear. lol That was with 235/40 tires. Got rid of them 2 weeks later, as I needed new tires after 3 weeks due to excessive wear on the inner edge of the tires. lol

Got 18x9 30offset now, and fit much better.

Good luck if you fit them ok and post some pics. Def need camber arms at rear.
