17x9 Cobra R R58's
 
How do you think these wheels would look on an evo? They are 17x9's off of a cobra R.

Why would you do this. Anyways the best way to find out is to take one wheel off and test fit one in the back and front to insure you dont need spacers.

I think they would look horrible. Cobra R's are very well known in the mustang aftermarket and are quite common. Most car people would know you're riding on mustang rims and wonder what you were thinking. I have nothing against them because I had a mustang with Cobra R's, but I think style-wise they wouldn't look good on an evo.

im not asking how they fit? I know a 17x9 in wheel and the lug pattern will also fit. I can get these wheels $300 for the set of 4 and get them powdercoated black

This is the kind of response i was looking for. Thanks for the input

They will stick out past your fenders but apparently clear the brakes without spacers. Hub size will probably be an issue too. I hate to tell you to search but someone actually posted pics of them on their Evo a few years back.

[edit] Never mind searching. I found it for you (only because I posted in it).

{thumbup} I was about to post the exact same thing. I remembered someone posting pics a few years ago.
