does anyone know if i'll have any problem with a 17x8 +25 offset rim with stock size tires on my evo? anyone have any pictures of a setup like this?

btw the wheels in question are 5zigen FN01R-C

thanks

 

for some reason im thinking you might need spacers, cause i dont think it will fit over the brake calipers...some one correct me if im wrong?

and i dont think i have ever seen this size and offset rim on an evo..

 

i thought the smaller the offset the more the rim stuck out from the car? meaning they would clear the calipers before 40mm offset would?? i figured if i had any problems it would be with the fenders not the calipers but i dont know for sure.


anyone else got a clue?

 

I would be surprised if they didn't clear the calipers, as high clearance is one of the good qualities of the FN01RC. That's 13mm lower offset than the stock enkeis, meaning they will stick out about 1/2" more than stock, so if anything, it's the fender clearance running wider tires that might cause some interference, but I think you will probably be fine. At the most you might need to roll the fenders. If you're running more camber or are willing to with this etup, that will help too.

 

thanks for that info. i figured that was the case.

 

that is a sweet deal indeed! i assume it's from a private party and not a vendor? if it Is a vendor, PLEASE Pm me the info after you get yours so I can get some.

 

private party sale. sorry bro

 

That is the right size 17x8 +25 I checked before with 5-Zigen. The +35 won't clear the brembo's !

 

17 x 8 w/ a 27mm offset will fit fine...i'm currently running 18 x 8 w/ a 20mm offset and have no problems at all (assuming your rear fenders are rolled)
