Evo 8 with 17x9 Rota grids...hyperblack






Tires: Falken Azenis RT-615 245/45R17
Springs: Swift Spec-r
Shocks/struts: MR Bilsteins

I definitely need to get the rear fenders rolled ASAP. No other problems though. Also, these weigh the same as my stock 8 rims (20.5 lbs). Also, before anyone says "you should have gotten 18's", please keep in mind that I'm an avid autocrosser, and 18s are only feasible if you like to look good on the street.

i have 17X9 with 255/40R tires and i had rear rubbing issues but just barely. i did the old bat and roll trick with the fenders to help it from not rubbing.

Actually, the rears ended up rubbing like hell, and I had to roll them. Other than that, no problems.

The offset is +25
