theblue was on the same train of thought as me haha. so what's the word? are they 2 piece or three piece?

 

They are 2 piece as I posted earlier.

I might inquire about getting Schmidt Radinox Rims all round. Maybe even get them so the wheels are 9.5's if that would work OK with a +35 offset without too much arch work. Now that would be bad ***.

I still like the idea of having the centers powder coated gunmetal.

Here is a crazy thought.... maybe even colored bolts....anodized red perhaps.....and matching lug nuts? I'd have to have a think.

Mmmmm custom BBS LM's

 

I would not reccomend staggered wheels on an evo just because you wouldn't be able to rotate them.

 

That depends on the tire and how much camber you are willing to run. Also, re-dishing could give you the opportunity to alter the offset a little, but +35 *should* be fine for 9.5" though, unless the design of the LM has poor caliper clearance, in which case they wouldn't fit even right now, so you're probably ok.

Enkei NT03+M 17x9.5 +38 fit fine without spacers, but then again they have an unusual convex spoke design so I'm not sure if that's significant.

 

Are this the actual rims you want to get? you said 18x8 and 18x9, right?

 

That's what was advertised but I don't know if the rims in the pic are the actual rims. Why don't they look like 18x8 and 18x9?

 

the 2 on top doesn't look like +35, looks more agressive than +35.

 

If it is the actual pic the 2 wheels on top must be the the 9 inch wide rims. The centers have got to be the same.

 

yeah... that's because those are the 9" so natually they have more lip

 

nah.. those 2 rims on top got too much lip to be 18x9 +35 or maybe it's just the light that makes em big.

 

How do you figure that? They look like the completely typical average offset 9"

 

here is a link to a tire size calculator. you should be able to get really close to the same diameter all around.

those wheels are sick by the way!

 

Skinny tires? Are you going with the "stretch/poke" look, like the VW guys?

BTW, did you test fit to make sure they clear the calipers?

 

I just think skinny tires look better. No I haven't tested to see if the clear the calipers. I'll find Out soon enough when I get them
