Rims and tires
I want to go with a new setup on my ralliart currently have 215/35R18 and want to drop down a size but go with a wider rim maybe 8'' will this fit and what kind of offset should i be going with? Any suggestions guys help me out with this one!!

I by no means have an aggressive wheel setup...
17x7 +43 Wheels
215/40-17 tres
Tein S-Tech lowering springs
Rubbing: at 90-95% steering lock, I get slight rubbing on the inner plastic fender up front.
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.

be aware in the rear im running 17x7 and lowered quite a bit on bc's and i barley clear my trailing arm with the rim u may want to look into this first oh be prepared with offset of rim spacers and possible fender rolling/pulling, i could be wrong tho

[quote=keithislegit;9671166]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?[/quotfor tire side wall id say 55-60 since thats your stock height, 45 will be bad man especially on a 16inch rim, as for rubbing no u will be fine once its lowered u might get some rubbign at max turning radius but i have a 215 so that could be why i noticed it now that im on BC coils its a little worse but expected considering how wide the tires are and how low mine sits

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
