How does the car feel?? do u feel it heavier (wider wheel/tire, or heavier)..

I have the same wheel but in bronze!! Not fitted yet, but I will go with 255-35-18 not 40..

Im really worried about rubbing issues

the car feels much more stable (as if it wasnt stable to begin with lol) but it really does feel different! i went from a 18x8.5 +35 to a 18x9.5 +22....so its much much wider.... they dont feel any heavier really.. not noticable to me at all...

as for the rubbing.... if your car is lowered, you will 100% need to roll the rears.. mine are rolled and pulled a bit, and the bumer slighty rubs a bit..ill be fixing that soon... but youll love it!


as for the upside down emblem.. hahahaha... just trying to be different!

lol... the rs came wingless so the new owners could put whatever wing they wanted on there.. i love the stock wing, but plan to upgrade to the arp gt300 wing... but to me, an evo should have a wing! rs or not
