this might be a stupid question, but i cannot find a straight answer anywhere.
so, i want to get 03-06 evo wheels for my RA, and from what I understand, they should fit w/different size tires - is this true?
they are 17" x 8" and are 5 x 114 mm or 4.5" bolt pattern with I believe a +35 mm offset

I'm looking to pick up a new set of rims/tires for my '06 Ralliart Sportback, and have had my eye on a set of 17x7 Enkei EDR9's.
This whole "offset" ordeal has left me fairly confused and overwhelmed, and as such, I know find myself second guessing everything.
The rims recommended for my car on tirerack.com came up as having a +45mm offset, and a 5.74" backspacing.
Does this sound about right? I'm looking for something that will bolt up with no rubbing/issues. I had intended to run a 205/45R17 tire (though now I'm also wondering about 215/40R17).
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

i can go lock to lock while going over bumps, in and out of driveways, over speed bumps and there's no noise, no binding and no rub marks anywhere that i can see... no noise or binding from the rears, no marks, nothing... the dealership even looked it all over a few days about cause there's clunking from a rear strut and they would have said something if my tires were contacting anywhere...

I found some big brake kits a horsepowerfreaks for the ralliart up to 16 inch rotors and 12 piston calipers they are a bit more than 3 k though lol...but u could have braking comparable to a dual laundry shoot dragster... Maybe somehing for LSD once he's finished.

My setup is tein s-tech springs on 17x7 drag dr16 with 40 offset with kumho ecsta asx 215/45r17. Rubs little when turning hard in parking lots and rubs on fender in the rear if two people sit in the back! so no fat chicks!! Other than that i love the setup. working on getting new tires since the kumho's have 55,000 mi. Time for a new set! anyone have any idea's
