K3lv, with the spacing I currently have, how "bad" do you think it would be if I threw some 3mm to 5mm spacers on the fronts and rears (net offset of +40 to +38)? Do you think I'd hit any of the metal fender (either front or rear)?

My goal is to get my wheels more "flush" to the outside Not extreme, just moreso than right now. I'm not opposed to getting out the heat gun and massageing the inner plastic fender a little, if needed.
I'm runnin 17x7 with +40 and i only get a very light run at full turn and only in reverse. and only on the plastic lining in the front. back is 100% clean. I'm also running on stechs too.

What is the offset of your rim im running 215/35R18 and i believe the offset is +45 but not to sure because it doesn't say it anywhere but thats what the guy told me where i bought them i have no rubbing issue's in the front or rear. I wanna run 17x7.5 +42 or +40 offset and by reading the forums sounds like most guys are having no issues with these offset's. Did you have to do any rolling or pulling on your fender's. I'm ok with rolling the inner's but don't want to modify the outer fender's in any way. I'm not sure how low you are if you were to measure from the ground to the top of your fender just above your tire i'm sitting at 2 feet in the front and 2 and a quarter in the rear take a measurement of yours and let me know so we can compare.

Thanks.

I just bought some BBS's. They're 16x8. I'm riding on stock height. Will there be any rubbing? And what tire size would be best for me? 40 or 45. I'm planning on lowering the car on TeinS and KYB struts after winter. Will I need spacers?

I noticed I couldn't find any 215/45/16's. The tires rims are 16x8 +40 offset. Help me with a set up. I'm going to be lowered on some TeinS' and KYB struts soon so I want to get it right the first time.

They'll rub regardless of the tire. I'm on 17x7.5 +40, 215/40/17 tire and they just barely clear.

You're going to rub unless you roll and maybe a slight pull on your fenders

my car is 04 lancer around 400whp but FWD..i have a big problem in traction..current setup is..
18x7.5 225\35\18 +38

the car is useless 1st 2nd 3rd gear spinning to redline..anyway

i am aiming RPF1 18x8.5 +30 and i was wondering if 235\40\18 will work, i am willing to do rolling and pulling or any body work required but i just need to know if it's possible???

BTW i have evo steering rack..i think it turns 40-50% less than the normal lancer's rack..

That could work with some rolling and pulling of the fenders , but a limited slip differential will help far more than that tire upgrade. I'd look into an LSD , and if your in the 400whp range it should take over a second off your 1/4 times.

Post up some pics there hasn't been a 400whp lancer around in sometime , not to mention a 1.6 liter with that kinda power
