Mb Battles 17x9

I'm looking into buying some mb battles 17x9 with a 30 offset or 17x9.5 with a 15 offset. Which would fit better into a 2006 mr, will i need to roll my fenders at all and what size tires will fit best on each?

I just put the 17x9 30 on. Got Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/40-17. Removed the rear shocks/springs and moved suspension fully. About 10mm from the unrolled fenders. Appears 255/40 should work if I get them later. Front center caps currently don't fit as the axle sticks out too far in front.

Could you get some pictures so I could get an idea of how they would fit? also are you on stock suspension?

I'm on Swift SpecR springs. Not sure if I can post from my phone and not around a computer. Another thread is https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...le-wheels.html I believe the OP has 17x9 30, and there's pics of other sizes in there. PM your email and I might be able to send some pics of mine if you'd like.

15 offset will probably stick out 1.5" further then stock wheel. It might be too much and your fenders will hit tires.

Wow I didn't know Evo guys would use cheap fake wheels too.
I thought only those only teenage Honda guys do that.
Enkei's isn't cheap enough for 30K+ car? Or leave it stock. SMH

Haven't had mine long, but happy with them so far. Only negative is a bit heavy. 22lbs for the 17x9

Coming from the guy with 1 post ......I'm sorry, did you buy your 2013 Evo thinking it was in a category all by itself?

I have a set of ROTAS in my garage...what? Am I being cheap too? Before my evo I used to drive an Acura Integra...does that solidify your stereo type much? I'm sure you put Honda/Acura guys in the same category as 'cheap'. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

Isn't yous cheap enough for an edumacation?

Haha it's funny how ignorant people are. First off do I need to buy the same 3000 dollar wheels as everyone else? I almost bought volk te37s just like everyone else but I like the look of these better. Second off Id rather buy 700 dollar wheels and have the extra 2300 to spend on other mods i'm looking at.
