see now it's no surprise that the 17x9.5 +22 fit the evo. it's sticking out a lot but depending on what tire you run you could still be ok. good luck with 275s, won't happen, 285, not a chance, big slicks, nope.

but if you're really still interested in the fender pulling or the fender flaring (massive roll) then you'll be pleased to know that they weigh like 16-17 pounds for 17" and 17-18 in 18". as far as wide *** 18s go... they're incredibly light. so are the cpo35r's (same range), and of course those come in whatever size that actually fits.

you should see no flexing.

+12 he's rubbing. i'd say this is not as good as +22. also he's running a skinny tire so that's helping. if he were to run a proper 275 he's be crunching things for sure.

yeah, I'd had a little too much to drink when I posted that, my reading comprehension wasn't so great. I see now, in the other pics especially, that the tire is pulled way too far. the entire bead area of the rim is exposed. +22 would be better. but still, that would be a badass look to have on the street.

it'd be cool to have this if you flared the rear fenders with a roller... the fronts should be fine without pulling. if you wanna run 275s +22 with the same recipe will get your plenty of stick.

i do like the look, but i like more tire, then the bead of the rim sticks out like that... makes me queezy thinking about parallel parking.

silencer, how are the wheels looking on the inside, any rubbing? what kind of suspension you got?

No rubbing, not even close. I'm running Moton's with 2.25" coil springs.

CP-035's are available in various widths and offsets...sorry for the vaguery there, I'm not a wheel salesman.

The CP-035r's are available in custom widths/offsets and look like silencer's wheels. You don't have to go direct to Racing Hart, either. Dazz is the US distributor for them. http://www.dazzmotorsports.com/wheels_rac.asp
True, you do not need to go through RacingHart direct. In fact, you may not be able to. However, it did take me 4 months to get mine through a CA. supplier. The black inner pc is custom. CP-035r's are very light, try 15.1 lbs. for an 18x10.5.

NOPE NO Rubbing, anymore. There was a plastic washer on the bumper, which is now gone. so no rubbing. But I do suggest doing +22's for anyone that doesnt want to pull and want to put at least 245's on. I can easily put 245's on but i'd then have to pull the lip (ie Varis Evo 8, look at how the rear fender is lipped out). And I did order for myself a set of +22 rears that way both cars can share the TE love. For the +22's in front, you can run 245s, just offset it a lil with more camber. theres a ton of room up there.

Cost for each TE is $790 for 18x9.5 / $830 for 18x10.5 (I paid half, thanks to my wonderful sponsor, Mackin / Rays Engineering)

DriftUnit, those te37s look unreal on your evo!!! So let me get this straight, I can run 18x9.5 +22 offset all around running 245/35/18 and I won't rub and get the same look of your car.

If you get 35mm offset, it won't rub with 265, and it'll be inside the fender. DriftUnit wheels stick out quite a bit past the fender.
