Is there something wrong with bringing back an old thread instead of posted a new one? And sweet thanks man, I ended up going with 255's I saw a few other people with them but there wasn't much info posted about what suspension they are running or their camber setup. So for future people looking up the grid 17's.....I'm running the tein h tech springs on stock 8 struts/shocks. So the front is lowered 1.2 and the rear .3 I have the rota grid 17x9 with a 20 offset. I just put 255/40/17 tires on. The tires fill the wheel well very nice and feel amazing compared to the stretched 225's I previously had. I definitely need my rear fenders rolled but it looks like it will clear just fine after that. I can also tell my camber in the rear is a little off so I'm going for an alignment Monday I'll report back with the results then.

 

Can you please post up pictures of your evo with the 17x9's?
I've been thinking of getting 18x9.5" Grids, but if 17"s give me an aggressive enough look, then the lower price of the wheels and tires would sway me in the 17" direction. My car is lowered on Espelir GT springs and stock shocks.

I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

i like 17s, shows the meat of the tyre

 

I'm sorry the picture is so small I always have trouble posting pictures on this forum. If you pm me your cell number I can text you the full size shot.but the picture above is spot on. Mine looks just like that the tires fill the wheel wells fully.

 

Hey, poon'dEVO,
Any updated pics, with the new wheels? The black evo looks awesome, but mine is yellow, so I would like to see yours!

Thanks,

JCG
