I know someone out there has this offset. ITs from the GB from robispec the size is 17x9.5 +38 offset. I just want to know the people that have it if they lowered there evo and running 255/40/17 tires. did you need to roll your fenders? I am deciding to lower my evo with Espelir GT springs I would gladyly appreciate your help thanks

I know this doesn't help you now but I will know in a few weeks when I put all my stuff on. From what robi said with a 255 no rolling, pulling or stretching of the fenders.

 

your names really Flo?

My old lunch lady in middle school was named Flo too!

 

well if it helps i run enkei rpf1s
et38mm with a 20mm spacer up front
with dunlop 255/40/17s
it fits without any fender mods
it rubs the liner but who cares about a little plastic rubbage
itll wear out

 

too bad Enkei Japan does not offer 17x9.5s in RC-T4s.. But they do have 18x9.5 +30 that will clear brembo with a lot of space, no spacers required, and can run larger size tires..

 

alright i just put my springs in last night and there where no rubbing issue plus i was still on 245/40/17 tires and if i put 255/40/17 i dont think i have to get my fenders rolled. hopefully lol. well see sunday if do need it.

 

If you have the robispec NTO3+M's post some pics, would love to see them.

 

Do the 17's have the same dished look as the 18x9.5 +40 and +27's?

 

I have the Espilar GT springs on my 05 MR on the stock Bilsteins. Work well. I run 245/45/17 on stock BBS's ....good clearance on the fenders, struts and lower arms.

1.5 inches wider is going to get close. I suspect you wil rub the fender liners up front.

Can you post or send me pics of the NT-03 on the car when done ? My brother has these on his 94 Mazda TT ( 18x8 F and 17 x9 rear) they look terrific in SBC.

Thanks

I have two sets of these from Robi and they fit perfect. I have 255/40/17 RA-1's for the track & 265/40/17 Falken 452's for the street. I was lowered on Eibachs first and now have Robispec KW's and am really low and have no problems. I did roll my rears, however, I don't think that you would need to do so. With the 265's I rub the inner liners on u-turns, but not with the 255's.

You will love the look. Good luck and send some photos when you get everything mounted.

does anyone have any pics of this setup? i am planning on selling my current rims for these and i would like to the 255 tires on it but i would love to see a pic first.

 

Kind of a crappy angle, but you get the point.

 

Mike01: That looks really good. Are these the 17 inch rims? What tire size are you using? Spacers? Thanks
