Wider wheels at back?

Is it safe to run this sizes on the evo? RWD runs them well. Not so sure about
4WD.
It's a 5Zigen FNO1R-C
17x9 OFFSET 15 IN THE FRONT
17X10 OFFSET 25 IN THE REAR
5X114.3
If its ok, would the stock Advan's handle them?
Price is just too tempting to pass up.

I have seen evo's in Japan with a staggered fitment, but it was offset, not width. It would throw off the handling for sure. I would not try this!

the front is where the wider wheels should be. don't know if those would fit though.

235-45-17 on a 10" wheel...NO

17x10 25 in the rear wont work without some serious fender mods. Et35 will, I have measured it out and it would only be 6mm closer to fender than 9.5 et 35. I have about 1/2" space after having fenders rolled and pulled.

wider fronts for non acd works great but any acd car same size front and back is recommended...

Since the Evo is very weight biased towards the front and has a tendency to handle more like a FWD car putting a wider wheel/tire in the rear is counterproductive. You also need to keep your overall tire diameters very close to each other or you risk damaging the drivetrain. That 10" rear is going to be a rough fitment too.

kekek, didn't you mean running a wider wheel/tire in the back is counterproductive?
