Will this wheel fit the evo?

I was wondering does anybody know if the Gram Lights 57s 17x9.5 +22 will fit the evo without and fender rolling or spacers? So is there any wheel experts that can help me out? Thanks!!!

yeah it will "fit" but car looks BEEFY with them and kind weird unless you car is setup with correct mods and ride height in my mind. If its kinda stock they will look outta place....btw that is with 255 40 17 AO32Rs

So in that picture you were on 17x9.5 +22? If so, do you have any other pictures of your car like from a side view. Thanks

heh. It would look 4x4 with a 12 inch lift kit and mud tires maybe.

They are 9.5 in. wide wheels, you can't go inboard as much. Although 22 offset is a little goofy for the rear. I'm curious how it drove though, steering feel ok? Get any brake steer?

To me it looks better than any tucked tire setup. Too much tire is just enough.

The reason I like that size is because of the concave face of the rim. If that rim fits ok without any issues, I would try to run a smaller tire.
