Hi, I've tried searching and didnt find any pics of EVO with 18" wheels that is running on stock suspension. Can someone please post a pic of their ride with 18" wheels that is not dropped.

How do you guys feel about it? Does it look bad for putting in a larger wheel without dropping it.

TIA

 

Well, a larger wheel will likely lessen the wheel gap, so I don't see how it could look bad...or at least not worse than the stock rims...unless you get super low-profile tires with a large gap still.

Btw, Show'n'Shine is where you want to look, not Evo General.

 

ooopps. I meant to post it there.

Is there a way to move this there or can I just cross post? sorry for the mistake.

THANKS!

 

Yeah, I wonder the same thing...my guess is that it might depend on, like Warr mentions, the tire profile. If you stay with the stock ride height then maybe a 35 or 40 profile might look a bit hokie. My car is running a 245/40x17 0n the stock rim....but I don't think it looks that awful.

But, someday I'd like to get 18x9.5's but I cant lower the car 'cause my local roads have major pothole presence and debris...so I wonder what kinda profile Ill have to go with to not look too funky and at the same time retain some sidewall isolating effect from these awful potholes.

 

Monster Trucking !!!!! Coool! no way man, I think lowering with bigger wheels is a must.

 

i just ordered a set of ssr sp1 18x9 + 31, gonna run a 245x40 tire with the stock suspension. i have no plans at all to drop the car, its a daily driver and the stock suspension is good enuf. BTW i,ve seen quite a few evo,s around here with 18,s on the stock ride hieght and they look just fine.

 

I have SP1s 18x9 on my room floor right now. Will order tires this coming tuesday. So by the end of next week I should have pics with them on my stock Evo.

 

Enkei RPM2's in 18x9 on stock suspension. Im waiting until i save up enough money for coilovers to drop it.

I installed a set of 5Zigen 18x8.5 wheels w/ 255/35/18 Googyear F-1's. I'm keeping the stockers w/ 10% tread for the track. I love the way the car handles with my new W &T. I have a slightly lower CG and the cars wheelbase is about 1"-2" wider. The W & T combo fit perfectly and fill the wheewells perfectly. I'll be adding Tien Flex C/O w/electronic adjusting in the next few months. I have pics if anyone wants to see.
