They are 17x8.5 with +30 offset. The tires are 245/40/17 Advan A032R's.
Also, just in case anybody is wondering for right now it is lowered with Tanabe GF210 springs.
The wheels look better in person. I couldn't get good lighting on them and they are a little dirty

The springs are great. I have used them for a few DE's and 2 years of autox'ing. I won the regional SCCA and CSSC ESP championship on them last year
They are probably one of the better performing springs offered but they will be replaced this spring with race setup coilovers.

hmm..i wonder if 255/40/17 would look bulgy and not do well on a 8.5 wheel.....why did you not throw 255's on??? and chose 245's??

Actually I'd prefer 255's.
255's would work just fine on an 8.5" rim. They only reason I have 245's on them right now is because I bought the wheels and tires slightly used so the tire size wasn't my choice. When they are replaced I will run 255/40's. I ran a season and a half on 255 Victoracers with good results..although they were mounted on my stock rims.

One other small positive about running the 245's is that they are 1-2lbs lighter per tire and give up only .1" in tread width. On some autox courses the lower gearing created by the 245 also helps over a 255.
The 255 would be better overall though..especially for a primarily street driven Evo. The 255 is closer to stock overall diameter
