Rally tires and Weels
Lots of people on here are changing the weels for their care on here to fit the the whole AutoX style bigger wider.
But looking to go the other direction and get some Rally spec tires. But all I can find are 15' suby and EVO ones around and seen on here that our cars can only go down to 16'
Any got links to places that either will machine some or know any one that fit 15' on are cars. sh*t how did they get them on the EVO there breakes are bigger than ours.
I want to get this done....this car will be rallied out by the end of the year seats, cage, and everything so i can race in modified production class races.
any help is greatly needed

Bigger brakes do not necessarily make better brakes. Materials and cooling have a lot more to do with it than just size alone. More than that, unsprung weight reduction will let the suspension components react faster.

Can't really argue with a 24-lb to 32-lb unsprung/rotating weight reduction, can you? If you don't believe that they use these, see http://www.amsperformance.com/acp_evoix_rally_car.php under wheels/tires, you see 15" listed.

I never said anything about brakes and I was talking about the Evo X not earlier gens.

Na I am just looking for a good wheel choice that will fit the tire I need plus the upgraded break kit later.
It's just I don't see many rally tires over about a sixteen.
Also I just need a good wheel that will hold up to the abuse.

Remember that the EVO X was not designed for Rally use. I'm not sure about EVOs, but I know for a fact that STIs run 15"s on dirt/gravel. I believe that they swap out the Brembos with a smaller caliper brake in order to do so, though.

15" gravel wheels.
Using these brakes:
http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/A...Brake-Kit.html
Brakes are the limiting factor to wheel size...in OEM config, the Evo X Brembos are too big to allow 15" wheels. You need to swap for smaller rotors and all hardware that lets that work. So indirectly, you were talking about brakes
15" wheel at work, in a "not designed for rally" car:

ams has a willwood kit they made for the RA that fits horribly. A local dealer lost about 1000$ in labour charges on a AMS will wood kit, that never worked right, which they ended up removing and sending back. That car ended being the first with evo x brembos. Same car. Same dealer, so that will give you an idea of how bad fitment must have been.
