stock wheels with 20mm spacers and a drop
they have a variety of sizes from 10mm - 25mm. The installation is a breeze. Just install them between the wheel and the hub as you said. 30 minute installation for all four if you have help with taking the wheels off. It is as simple as removing and installing the wheel
I wouldn't go too big a spacer, with the stock wheels it will look really wierd if you look at it from the front and rear. You have the skinny stock wheels but pushed all the way out. 15mm is the limit for me.
if you have a wheel that is 1 inch wider without changing the offset, you only get half an inch on the outside and half an inch on the inside of an increase.
Looks good, mitsu just loves leaving stock wheels tucked in stupid far.
On another note, you need to brush up on your OEM wheel specs and math according to the type seen in the first pic.
Stock is *18x8.5 +38 offset*
With the spacers, you've effectively made them *18x8.5 +18 offset*.

Ideally you should use wider wheels/tires with a lower offset rather than this type of setup. This setup will wear out the wheel bearings much faster. Also depending on your insurace company if your using spacers and a wheel falls off (this does happen) and you get into an accident your insurance company may be able to deny coverage.
it's dropped on t1r coilovers
I had a set of wheels but I had to sell them due to money reasons, so I put the stocks back on but couldn't stand the idea of having the wheels being sunk in. The stock stance is so weak and as a personal perference I like to have a nice stance on my car. These wheel spacers are hubcentric which means that the spacer is centered perfectly on the hub and whe wheel is centered perfectly on the spacers hub. These have a hub bore diameter of 67.1mm and this is specific to the evo. It also has a thread pitch of 1.5. I would reccomend these spacers to anyone.
As for those who say spacers are "not worth it", if your refering to the price of the spacers, it should only be around 250.00 for all four spacers all around. That is the only thing I can guess worth is refering to. 250 is not a great deal of money to me for a better stance on a car that I drive every day and have to look at every day also.
some may like it and others may not. For me, it allows a stealth look and great stance. Stock wheels look great on this color and the handling feels great. Also, since these are hubcentric as I mentioned earlier, there is no vibrations at all
