Can the EVo8 use Evo 7 rims?
I'm looking to get some aftermarket wheels for my Evo 8. Since there isn't much out there for the 8, I was wondering if the lug spacing the same as the Evo VII?

Chances they changed that are virtually nil.

PCD 114.3 and 5 holes is a Japanese standard for anything but Subarus (correct me if there's others) so that should be the same.

Say 17 x 8 ET 35mm will be ok

Do you think the evo 8 can fit an 18x9 wheel?

18 x 8 yes, for sure. 18x 9 I would think so, but couldnt confirm.

What sort of power are you going for? Sounds like youneed rather large wheels!

well I've been looking for the Enkei WRC Tarmac Evos in 18's but haven't had too much luck. The closest is the Enkei RC5 and all the retailers only have it in 18x9. I think it's too big.

My friend MAXI bought Enkei Tarmac Evo 18 inch wheels yesterday. I think they are 8 inches wide. $400 a piece.

A place in France called LR Diffusion, as he stated in your other thread.
