Hey evom, looking at some options for next summer for rim setup and I need some help. I have rims from my eclipse that people loved..the only kicker, they are wrapped with 225 wide rubber. My kinda goal was to be in the 255 with about a 9.5-10" wide rim. What do you think I should do, I will not be running my car at any race events next year so the grip traction isn't suuuuuper crucial (unless you count yealds in 4th gear crucial) If i spacer the old rims out for a more agressive stance it may help as welland i'm planning on powder coating them a deep metalic purple (night=black). Heres a photochop of what the car would look like with the rims i currently have..






its those then i get so spend my money elseware (lip JDM rear intercooler....) or i sell those and pick up some wide rotas and keep body where she stands now.

ORRRRRRRRRRRR paint stockers black like everry other RR evo.

As you can tell i'm in a pickle on what to do so i thought i'd come to the evo gods for a lil' halp.

Thanks in advance!!

 

I say sell skinny wheels a for better fitting ones...

But that lip jdm rear intercooler sounds interesting???

 

u can run 255's on the stock evo wheels... get rid of those skinny's

 

LOL, +1 . Sell the skinny wheels . Get some nice decent evo rims that would make the car look good, plenty of options...

 

sorry i think there was some confusing things going on..

Aftermarket rims-225/40/18
Stock Rims-245/40/17 blizzaks

Maybe like to run 9.5(+22) 245's...

so its either a bunch of smaller stuff or rims and rubbers

 

what everybody else said

 

Sell them

 

buy some NT03's..$1300 shipped 18x9.5 +27 or +40 and you're set /thread

 

NOOOOO 225 on an evo is LAME

 

hahaha i'm seeing wherre this thread is going in a hurray! thanks guys and that was my gut anyway. Keep posting up if you feel but i think you guys just backed my thought up very well.

Thanks guys.

 

Yea get that 225 crap off of there. Sell the skinnies, get some fatties.

 

Sell the rims and get a 18x9 or 18x9.5 wheel with a 245 or 255 tire!

 

If grip isn't cruial then what is... looks? If that's the case, that's fine, not everybody wants to race. But this thing is, 225 will NOT look good. What size are the wheels? Depending on width and offset I'm sure you could atleast put on some stock sized tires, maybe even 245's.

I'd sell them and get some 9.5" wheels and run 265's. Thats what I want to do. I have 8.5" with 255's now.

 

thanks for the comments guys!

 

not for this car... tires look super skinny

get something that fits and performs better
