minus the fuel door LOL

I did all my homework, and bought the right size w/o having to roll anything.
I think my car looks sick as is.

Keeping it as clean/fast as possible for my DD.

you can go 18x8 without having to roll, depending on the offset.

18x8 with +45 offset will PROBABLY need a roll with a drop, there is a good amount of height left on 18x8 but i know ive rubbed on the rear once when i hit a bump going too fast so i could only imagine what it be like with a drop.

to the op, nice looking drop .

Looks good. Somehow the wheels looks smaller than ther are. Good combination of color/wheels color

It looks nice. I am not a big fan of the flat looking wheels but the color is good with your car. Nice blacked out trim on the front also.

true, on my lancer im running 18x8 +30 235/40/18 on tien springs which offer the lowest drop and 0 issues with fenders..so you can definitely do a lot more than what the op is running with. another guy here is running 18.8.5+30 with 245/40/18 with only having to slightly roll the rears..so 7.5+42 isnt near your limit without issues.

as for the op great looking car, bad choice on the springs ive heard a lot of bad things about those.. you just wont hear them on evom..but if you search around on other lancer sites you'll see.

Looks good saw the car today !
Slacking i have a fender roller too!
Also you still dont know if it will rub since you have negative camber so there is still a chance !
