17 x 7

Search failed. Looking for confirmed fitment of ANY 17 x 7 wheel for an evo 9. Reasonable offset please. RS-5 and RS-6 no longer produced. Any experience with RP03, etc? Anything? 7" wide only please.

It's for Montana.
Update: I finally found a phone number for enkei. King at enkei was extremely helpful. The old discontinued RS-5 is the best wheel. He found a stocking distributor with 8 left. That's right there is one more set out there of 17 x 7 with 40mm offset and 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern. Plaza Tire. 800.334.5036 ask for Randy. part no. 29677002SP

Got them, 140 each. 205/50/17 hakaapalita R are mounted. Traction is excellent. -8 here right now so the snow and ice are sticky anyway. Only concern is lack of sidewall, it won't take much of a hit to bend a wheel. The car is a lot of fun, precise, and predictable in snow. I could use some understeer but I won't be wrenching anytime soon!

Just give it more negative in the back. I run stock sus. with 1 - 1.5 neg in the rear. You could disconnect the rear bar. Really changes the car. E-brake to pitch it sideways, then throttle and point. I'm gonna get arrested some day(if the can catch me).
