Evo X wheels fitting problem / Advan RZ 19"

Hello

I have a question. I own an Evo X, lowered with Eibach springs and I am about to employ Advan RZ 19x10 wheels offset 25mm, they are in fact already ordered. I am worried if these will fit. I'm afraid they're going to be too wide, looks like the spring mount in the front will be in the way. Any answer greatly apreciated, I am quite worried I'll have to buy an adjustable suspension as well.

Thanks for your help!

It would also depend on what size of tires you are mounting on the rims. Even the same size can be slightly different from one brand to another. Maybe someone with similar stats on their wheels/tires can chime in for clearance comparisons.

I'll use 265/30 max.

I have 19x10 enkei rpf1's with a +22 offset. I have 285/30/19 sized tires and my car is lowered on RobiSpec KW coils. I had rubbing in the back on bumps so i rolled the fendors and now it only rubs on Hard bumps if I have someone in the back seat (very rarely) BUT the front also rubs on full lock turns, like when i'm pulling out of a driveway or something. 275/30's would have been better but 285 was closer to stock rolling diameter

OK I am sure the the tyre has to be lower profile, but I am worried it won't fit because of the shock mount - that it's going to lean against the shocks. I own a GSR Evo X, EU spec but I think it's mostly the same as US spec, as far as I know only the shocks are of a different brand. Please tell me what you think,

thanks for your reply

No, they will fit fine. They will not hit the strut. People (including our shop car) run wheels that are closer that your Advans to the strut and are fine.

Your wheels are only 3mm closer to the strut than his Advans will be. That alone verifies the Advans fitment.

I'm running exactly what you want to run. 19x10 +25 Advan RZ with 265/30/19 tires.

I've been lowered all the way to a no finger gap, and had no rubbing issues, no body modifications and no camber adjustment.

You will be fine.

BTW I was able to get -2.0* camber front and -1.0* camber rear with just Eibach lowering springs, seems like it's enough so far. Eventually I'll be looking at wider wheels and tires for this car, just won't be until next spring at the earliest. Glad you guys are testing all these combos out!
