Got a new set of wheels. Hoping that going from a 275 on a 10.5" wheel to a 265 on a 10" wheel solves my rubbing/bouncing issue. Thanks @Boostindsm22

That's going the wrong way for grip! Where were you rubbing?

No matter how much i grind, pull, and hammer, the rears rub under full load in tight corners. It results in the rear hopping around.
I think it's also rubbing in other turns, judging by the tread.
I could try a higher rear offset, but then couldn't rotate, etc.
I'd rather drop a size and keep it simple. I could always just move to a gripper tire.

That's pretty. I can't say I've seen a show-car-quality Evo lately. It's been years, actually.

Pretty useless. Those stretched tires belong on the VW groups.

You can't fit the wrong size/offset wheel without a bit of stretching, though.

Took my Evo 9 MR to Destination Performance in Orlando last week and had Desmond tune the car. I went from 350/350 to 361/375 and it pulls really clean. Stock turbo with basic bolt ons. Car needs a new clutch as it starting to go, any recommendations for a new clutch?

I did a bunch of research on my new clutch and landed on the act hdss also. If you want it to feel stock and aren’t looking for more than 500whp, it should be a great choice for you. I would replace your flywheel if you are still on stock also and you don’t need the super lightweight ones.
