Why do so many Evo guys on here feel like getting colored wheels? Sometimes I feel like kindergartners are designing these cars.. The spacing on the front wheels is absolutely hideous as well. There should never be any tire showing from under the wheel-well unless you're driving a go cart/dune buggy.

Blah, blah, blah....We're asking the same thing about your wheels...Why DON'T you have some unique colored wheels instead of everything else we've ever seen??

Just because you don't like it doesn't require you to make yourself look like a f*cking dipsh*t talking crap about someone else's car. I think the spacing up front looks great...Hell, I probably like it better than your car.

Maybe on YOUR cars, you don't like tire showing outside the wheel well. Other people might like it on THEIR cars...

Its a trend your behind it, sucks to be you. There are also performance benefits to the "wheels sticking out" thing so

it must be tiring hearing the same thing over and over even after you said you are taking the spacers off..

Sorry to jack the thread, just helping those out who have questions with fitment.
I'm also running Tein S-Techs with Rota Grids in 18x9.5's wrapped in 265/35. I do NOT suggest this. I have 15mm spacers up front, but will be taking them off. Unless your fenders are pulled, run a 245/35. My tires rub like a *****... My plans for Spring 2010 is to run 245/35's and get some coilovers to get some neg camber and stiffen it up a little.

booster9 - How did you get your wheels to tuck so well in the rear? I don't have a spacer in the rear and they stick out just a little.

Camber my rear wheels are tucked like that and the fender is on the tire with -2.0 degrees of camber. Also if your going low, cut your rear bumper mount and move it back an inch or so.
