if you want, i have an extra set of advan rs gunmetal wheels that will be available soon for our widebody fenders. 18x10 all around just like the original runduce evo.

let me know if interested, if not good luck on your car and can;t wait to see the finished product.

jBigs,
Your right, I missed labeled the wheels in my original post. The 18x10 is the front/18x9 is the rear.

PM'd you.

-Stephen

it actually improves handling on the evos since they still understeer a little even with coilovers. cyberevo runs 20mm wider in the fronts than the rear...

running staggered is only good for stuff like autocross as staggered offset and staggered tire sizes eventually lead to reduced lateral g potential which is what determines the ultimate level of grip which is what in turn produces a win. if you're gonna go wider try to go wide all around. and if wheels nad tires are the only way you know how to get a car to rotate someone else needs to be doin' yer suspension.

also don't you wanna be able to rotate your tires? running staggered offset wheels means you can't. which is a total waste if you'r enot even gonna stagger wheel size... if you're running hte same wheel size might as well run the same offset and spacers.

18x10 +17 is not even going to come close to fitting, even with widest of wide fenders out there - you are talking about 25mm more outwards than even an 18x9 +29 wheel, which already sits pretty flush to the front fenders - you are going to need in the area of a 25mm wider than stock fender
