mb battles. 18's. just put these on.. waiting for coils to come so i can lower (stock suspension). wheels stick out a bit lol, around 1/2 inch is poking out. also center caps didn't fit on the front wheels. Shop said they needed to cut some of the screw off. Probably do that next time i bring it in

Roll the fenders in the rear unless you run an un-godly amount of camber. Evo-dave front fender kit for the front + rolled/slight pull in the rear would look killer!

Anyone know for sure if the OP's wheels are for sure 17x9 30 offset? Thinking about getting a set. Curious if any fender rolling was done in the rear or if excessive camber was needed.

Its been too long since I purchased these rims to remember the offset, sorry about that. But I still love the look of the EVO with these wheels! And even though I'm dropped, I did NOT need fender rolling, But the gap between the wheel and the fender is about a finger space wide. The coil-overs are great so I've never rubbed, even when driving agressively. 17 x 9 MB Battle!

I got the 17 by 9.5 with 15 offset lowered on tanabe gf210 springs with camber of 1.8 f and 1.0-1.2 r with just the rear fenders rolled.

235/45/17 tires and i dont rub, even driving aggresive.

Hope that helps.

ok awesome just what i was looking for. IM about to run my new battles but didnt know which series of tire to run. Do u think with a Tein Spring drop, and maybe a roll in the rear, ill be ok with a 225/45/17? and how tight with a 235? im still on factory camber and wanted to stay that way. I appriciate the help im new to this fitment game lol. thanks

My EVO was dropped on Tein Full coilovers and as close to stock camber as possible and I do not rub. It is very close (finger space) but does not rub. Even during aggressive driving. My wheels are 235's.
