The Official Wide Tire Thread
Hard to find all the people that might runs these if you have seen this first hand and know Please post...
at this rate I'm going to make a new Wheel fitment page for 8/9's and on the very first post put every setup with what has to be done... I have spent WAY to much time researching this:
so if you have input let me know
I have rolled rears... so trying to find something to run R888 255/40 which are more the size of 265 actually...
I have these in mind... i can run up to 5mm spacer on front MAX...
does any one know about these wheels? and setups please speak up.
basically just need to know if they will clear brakes or if they require spacers.
+35 in rear is way safe... and with roll no more clearance issues.
Volk Racing CE28N 17x9.5 +35
ADVAN RS2 17x9.5 +35
ADVAN RG II 17x9.5 +35
WedsSport TC105N - 17X9.5 +32
Volk Racing CE28N 17x9 +35
Seen other EVO’s with these can’t tell if they have spacers or not

BTW.. I'm in Alabama now PM me if you're seriously interested. I need to get a quote of how many I'm going to have machined at once. So if I have a good estimate I can order more... and get a better piece price.
FEA will be the same. It'll use basically the same ball joint, just a different method of inserting it...and these will probably be easier to put a Spherical "hard" bearing into. Other than that... nah. If you want to get the new bling, then we can work something out Jim BTW.. I'm in Alabama now

^ needed for 285s... Trust me. Or just ask anyone who runs 285s what color their stock trailing arms are now (black From all the tire rubber melted onto them from rubbing). And if you run a spacer in the rear to clear the oem trailing link... No way that is fitting inside the quarters. Well unless you run 3 degrees of negative camber in the rear and pull your quarters until they buckle... And then a little more.
Take it from me... I've ran all the tire and wheel sizes from 9.5-10.5 and tracked all of them... From a 265 re11 to a 305 Pzero slick. Trailing arms ARE the answer.
