anyone try this?

alternatively, is anyone familiar with the tirerack.com site? I tried using the vehicle selector, but it lists no wheels/tires for the RA, probably because it's a new car.... should I assume any wheels that fit the 09 GTS will also fit the RA?

 

GSR wheels don't fit, but anything that fits the GTS should work on the RA since they are the same body/suspension layout. The GSR has a wider track and wider bodywork to accomodate the larger rim/tires.

I have heard 225 are the widest you could go without any rubbing problems.

 

Yes, you can use the 08-09 GTS wheel fitments.
Stay in between +40 and +45 wheel offsets for a good fit inside your fender.

GSR wheels fit very snug on unfolled fenderes. The offsets are like +37 though. You might touch the fenders in the rear on HARD turns or with 5 people in the car.

 

I've heard the widest you can go on the Ralliart is...
245/40/17 tire
on a
17"x8.5" rim
I'm not sure on the offset, but I know the rear fenders need to be rolled!

 

Why go down in size? I like my 18's =]

 

yes the evo x wheels WILL fit!

 

Do they fit without rubbing?

 

depends if you're going to lower the car or not.. stock height shouldnt have any issues but lowering will require some fender rolling..

 

^+1. Agreed.

 

You go down in size to fit a wider tire.
The weight of the wheel and tire also go down as well.

I also prefer the 18's, but if I were to race the RA. I would go to 17" TE's or something.

 

i wonder how 17" evo 9 BBS would look?

 

I confirmed this statement w/ my evo VIII enkies!

 

pics? everyone keeps saying it works but no one posts proof.

 

they fit but poke out a bit. requires fender mod if u drop. there is a pic on here somewhere.
