i have a Evo 9

Im looking into buying rims for my car. i want the stance to be flush or the littlest bit to stick out of the body.

Will the rota g-force 18inch tire all around (5x114.3+30mm, 73.1 Hub) give me that stance, and also clear the factory front brakes?

 

Rims / tires have 3 numbers and then offset
stock figures are 235/45/17 +40 offset (im not 100% on offset)

235 is how wide the wheel/tire is, the 45 is how fat the tire is (from rim, and the 17 is the size of rim)

for more stance you want LESS offset .. ie. if stocks +40mm.. you want around +25 +20 - i think around this you would be flush .. more you stick out you may want to roll your guards though to avoid scrubbing the inside of your guards

edit*
+ 30 is okay, if you want more, you have to buy spacers eg. +30 with 10mm spaces will b +20 offset).. or u need a rim with mroe offset to begin with. and yes 18" will clear stock brakes as 17" stock wheels already do so.

 

so would a +20 be flush with the front n rear fender or do i want somthing like +25 in the front +20 in back

 

OTOH the wheel bore for our car is 67.1, not 73.1. Don't quote me on that though.

 

Sounds correct to me.

Offset is +38 as well on the stock wheels which are 17x8 on 235/45/17 tires.

I beleive my friend is using 17mm spacers with the stock wheels and the wheels are pretty flush as far as pushed outwards. 10mm in the rear same effect.

You will probably want to use something like http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp to figure out much clearance you will have on your wheel/tire combo. If you are going to go with 18x8 wheels then offsets should be around front 21 rear 28. If your wheel is wider you will need to use the calculator for sure to compare the sizes.

 

Search this thread...there are several ROTA wheel specs and fitment solutions for your posted question.

GL!

 

Do the Math. 38 -17=21 So if that's the look you want a 20 offset will do it for you.

 

+1 on checking out threads on rims, im sure you'll find what your looking for

im not the most knowledgeable on stance and flush n all that, i prefer function >form .. or whatever the saying is lol! but heres my friends evo8MR and i know his specs are 245/40/18 +22offset, wheels are te37-SL's

 

Steve is this for driving the car normally or raceing? If your gonna go racing go smaller rims man. Bigger the tires isn't always better. Don't get me wrong it looks nice but the power your making in the car you will lose gearing by upgradeing to 18s.

 

^^I gotta agree with curse. Not only do 17s allow for decent weight reduction but they can look more aggressive than an 18 if done right. A nice wide 17 with thick meaty tires just looks badass. Its a personal preference of course, but there was a time when I thought it was stupid to buy 17s when stock size was 17. Now I don't think I'll ever buy an 18. 17 are lighter (in some cases) and look more proportional in terms of wheel-to-tire aspect ratio (sidewall). Again, this is my personal preference...

Offset is the distance that the wheel mounting surface (to the hub) is from the center of the wheel. So for our stock wheel, it is 8" wide. If it were 0 offset, the mounting surface of the wheel would be exactly at 4" from either side of the wheel. + offset moves the mounting surface outward, thus moving the wheel itself into the fender farther. To get the flush look, yea you need a lower offset, but also depends on the width of the wheel. I know people who put 20mm spacers on the stock wheels and it completely changes the look of the car cus the wheels are flush, essentially simulating a +18 offset.

 

Here's a few from my collection
17x9 +29 255/40


17x9 +29 255/40


17x9 +17f, +28r 245/45


17x9.5 +28 not sure on tire size


17x9 +25 245/40

 

^^^^^ That TB looks mean

 

I wanted 18" to roll around on. I was going to get all season ect nothing crazy. Justed wanted the stance and stuff to look good. My plan is use my stock rims and put on NITTO 01R's. "I work at a muscle shop were i can get at cost on those tires."

 

Ah ok so you would use different rims and tires for the track. Thats cool

 

i think im going to go with the G-forces 18x9 +25 all around
