I just installed the wheels today!

Wheels/tires/nuts are 3.5 pounds approx lighter per corner than the stock MR BBS and Sport Z1 235/45.

The supension is stock with Swift Spec-R which were installed three days ago and still have some room to settle down.

I took the car for a ride expecting some rubbing on mild corners but there was none. I will have the fender rolled/pull next week; looking for 18mm aprox on the rear to ensure 265 tires will fit in the future. I will also set up the car for -2 degrees of camber on the front and - 1.2 in the rear with zero toe on all fours.

I have to say, the Hankook R-S3 are so MUCH quiter than the Sport Z1. I don't know if they will make more noise after the breaking in period but it can not be any worse than the Dunlop and their "1000 bees" following you down the highway

Finally, I drove the car around the neighborhood with some spirit cornering and right off the bat I can feel the improve grip and quicker steering response. The 3.5 pounds less of rotating mass can't never hurt performance........perhaps I will upgrade the rotors and remove 6 more pounds per corner.

Some pics before the fender work, I will post some after pics as well next week:

 

spacers upfront?

 

nope, plenty of space!

 

I have the same setup just got them on last week I have BC coilovers I had no rubbing up front at all but I do have to roll the rears

 

Seems that a lot of people will go with a +38 all around with a 20mm spacer up front to clear the calipers. A +38 in the rear instead of a +18 won't stick out as much as you can see in the 2nd pic.

 

Yeah, I had 17x9 35mm w/ 15mm spacers and no rubbing in rear or front.
But, did notice that the rear was a little too tucked in - very close to the arms.

I'm thinking maybe 17x9 22mm w/ 5mm spacers upfront for 265mm tires for balanced setting...

 

seems like w/ this setup you'll have to pull the rear fenders...

 

Mine rub in the rears right now but I'm also only running .3 degrees of camber for now going to get it dialec in this weekend and run 1.2 degrees all the way around

 

That's what I will be doing next week; I never understood the fear to roll/pull fenders IF done correctly. I actually thinks it looks better! Plus the extra 20mm of track in the rear vs the +38 offset is a good thing! Never mind the agressive/concave look

 

Bump for pictures of the rear after roll pull.

 

What size tires are these in the pictures?

 

Never mind it's in the title my bad haha

 

Sorry for this old bump but just did 17x9.5 +18s and the rears are rolled but it still rubs. I'm guessing I need more pull? Also did you do your front fenders OP and do you rub on the inside? Thanks.

 

^^^The +18, although looks really cool w/all that poke, is really a very poor offset for a stock bodied EVO

Rear rub is tough to remove w/out severely pulling the rears. W/out knowing the tire size, cant really put this on the calculator

 

OR you could have bought wheels that actually fit?
