You might need a small spacer. Mine are 18x8.5, 36mm o/s and I need a 3mm spacer...

Chris I know you were talking BBS baby !!! I was wondering about tomssound. You have to be careful with wheels on the EVO because of the brakes. Just saying a certain offset will work with all wheels isn't completely true. Depends on wheel design and construction. What wheels are you guys are trying to fit??

Mike - How light is that wheel (the Buddy Club)? PM me with pricing for the same size you mentioned. Thanks!

i had that rim on my lancer before i traded it.. just make sure u get the p1 racing ii and not the p1 racing ii plus. i managed to fit an 18x8 on the lancer and it looked real nice.

the difference between the regular and the "plus" is that the regular is a 2 piece rim while the plus is just a 1 piece. i had the plus.. it cost about as much for 4 rims as one of the regulars do (why would i need lightweight on a lancer es??)

but for the evo, go light or stay stock. and also for the record, you probably won't have a lip like the one in the picture.. the spokes will probably come out to the edge of the rim even with a +35 offset.

like this:





nice rims tho.. you'll get lots of compliments. i was parked next to a red evo one day and had people telling me how nice my car was and walking right by the evo. i still knew which one was the better one though....

I was just about to ask about the lip, kensuke. Thanks for telling me before I made the mistake of ordering them.

They're still a sharp looking wheel but not what I am looking for.
