Sorry, I posted specs earlier in the thread, they are 17x8 rota grids with +35 offset. I have a 5mm spacer in the rear to make the rear +30. I do not rub unless there are three people in the back and I'm cornering hard, then it rubs slightly in the rear. but I have not rolled my fenders, pretty sure it wouldn't rub at all if I did.
lol, just teasing...but the thread is huge so it helps if you post your specs with any new pic, even if it was posted before, incase someone overlooked it earlier...thanks for the contribution, cheers!

Thanks for posting. Love this set-up and those Grids look even more like TE37s than I thought they do lol
Would this fit on 2004 mitsubishi lancer ralliart 2.4l > 17x8.5 +30 (5x114) volks ce28n rims and what size tires should mount on the rims?? Pls. Help thank you. .

They would fit, yes, but you may need spacers and there's a possibility they might stick outside of the fenders. A 225/40/17 or 215/45/17 would be a safe choice of tire size. You could go slightly higher diameter than this.
I drive an OZ Rally and my configuration (aftermarket brakes/suspension) results in a slightly different setup to that of a stock 04-06 Ralliart, but based on comparing a setup I had (205/50/16 16x7 +43mm) which was relatively roomy, a 225/40/17 or 215/45/17 setup is equivalent in overall size to what I had. With the +30mm offset, you may need spacers. 17x8.5 +30mm leaves 5.5" inches of backspacing. I had a Wilwood Big Brake Kit and 5.5" would not have been enough to clear the calipers, but with stock calipers it probably would have been fine.
This is my car from some time ago when I was running 205/50/16 and 16x7 +43mm wheels. You can see there's a good amount of wheel gap. (Not aggressive at all, but gives you a reference)

Test fit time! They are Nissan R32 GTR 16x8 wheels which are around 15.6 pounds per rim. Centre bore is 66.1 and do not fit in the rear. They will have to be rebored to 67.1mm because our cars have 67.1mm hub. Stock OEM lug nuts do not fit because they are too wide and they are not the tapered kind. The tires on the rim are 225/50/16 Yokohama S Drives.
I should be on stock alignment, just lowered a lot (1.5 inches maybe?) on stock rim and 225/50/16 Continental DWS tires.
These rims look pretty darn good on our cars.
Front fitment. You can see that is there an inch of poke.
Rear fitment. The rim is not flush against the hub, so the wheel is pushed out even more.
So the plan now is to find time for test fit part two since my friend gave me a set of tuner lugs (Thanks K.!) and buy a set of 205/50/16 or 205/55/16 tires.

definitely aggressive looks great, do you think you'll do fender flares/arches?
should have just got a different offset if you bought them new, otherwise I would go more than 10mm probably.
When I bought them new, the site I purchased them from only offered then in one offset. I believe it was 45, I dont really remember. Im only running the 5mm spacers on the rear as the front are pretty close to my arches as is, but as soon as I get round to rolling the arches I do intend to get 10mm spacers for the rear and test how the 5mm will sit on the front.
those wheels look nice! Id say with some rolled fenders you could get off with more spacing. those appear to fit about like the stock wheels. Which means 10mm should be doable on the rears.

No rubbing or anything, very pleased with how they came out.
