if you're going low to mid 30's just FYI it will be easier to clear the front suspension on the inside with the "low camber" setting on the eccentric bolt, with still plenty of fender clearance with ~-3 degrees of camber

2 major issues. The +45 offset & the bolt pattern. Our bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3

If you have other questions, let me know

One spec I missed was the 7" wide wheel. Unless this is to be used for a snow tire spec, this wheel is really out of sorts for our Evo

You would be better off w/the stock wheel at 17x8 +38 vs this 17x7 +45 (The wheel does appear to have a dual bolt pattern at both the 100 & 114.3)

Yeah, we need to find you another set of stockers. Maybe change over to the EvO9 wheel? Or look for a nice set of Rotas / 5Zigen. The size i recommend would be: 17x9 +34 to +38

Let me know if you find something & will be happy to check the fit for ya

What would you recommend for 18" without rolling the fenders? It seems like there's more 18" for sale

Theres no exact answer but generally speaking, I feel the range falls into this:

17x8 to 17x9 w/an offset range of +34 to +38 (tire size 255/40)
18x8 to 18x9 w/an offset range of +34 to +38 (tire size 255/35)

17x8 front and 17x9 staggered

What you guys think I want to run this setup I've heard that it's bad but also that it not depending if you have the right rolling radius. If you do the calculation. And get the right size tires. Does not strain the gearbox. 225/40/17 front 255/35/17 rear this is the thread I used

The general opinion from almost all on this forum is to keep everything square. Dont mess w/diff size tires.

The most the guys do here is run the same wheel, same tire but a diff offset front & rear (see Enkies RPF1's)

Keep it square
