FINALLY someone posted pics of them. VERY nice

Where did you get them? I see 500whp only has them in a +27.

Those are definetly my next wheels.

Any rubbing?

ok, so here's the scoop.

we were told by the distibutor that UK wheels run wider. so UK +35 offset is a few millimeters wider than US +35.
i've seen my friend's 5zigens 17x9 +35 and they clear the fenders fine. look pretty aggressive.

after installing the TDR wheels on my car (stock suspension), i instantly noticed that they look wider than my friend's. they look more aggressive too.
BUT, they did rub.......
i shaved my fenders, but rolling can be done as well. wheels did not clear by about 3mm.

thanks man
i love the wheels, and increased handling.
took the car to autocross last week and did much better with wider wheels.

it's the rear fenders that didnt clear by about 3mm. other than that, it's all good

I still say these are the best value wheels for the EVO. They are made for the track, don't weigh much (unless of course you compare them to the 15# wheels from Rays which also cost $500+ per wheel) and look great.

Would you have gone with +30 if you knew the above info? Are you running 255 tyres?
