offsets are way off...

What do those wheels look like?

OT (sort of), will this size fit the Evo? The size is 18"x9" and the tread pattern is 114, 3x5. Offset +30. I am thinking of putting Skyline R34 GT-R wheels on...

Hey Yongmin , I don't think by looking at the offsets that you will not have issues with those wheels. If you would like, I have a Veilside USA connection and could get proper offsets for you and a great price ! Let me know on AIM.

Oh, and get the Tein Flex for sure. I'll take care of you on price no problem unless you are getting a hookup on them but still let me know !

This is the stock offset for GT-R wheels. It should be 114.3 instead of 114,3 but I cut/pasted it from a Euro site. Is 30mm offset enough and is 9" too wide??

Veilside has fittings already for the EVO V + VI for the Andrew Racing V so they should work on the VIII. Also you never mentioned the finish you would like to get for them : silver/polish/chrome ???

if your a racing guy then why in the hell are you putting that big of a wheel on your evo, not to mention different sizes?... Either stay with the stock wheel size or step to a bigger rim with a lighter weight. Thats all you need to know from a racing view, everything is jsut looks...

1QWKEVO, I think that might tell you why he wants these particular wheels.
