Using Donuts for winter

Hi everyone,


I own a 2014 Evo X GSR and I'm from MN. I was wondering if I'm able to use rims or donuts size from a 2014 Lancer, to put on my EVO during winter time while it sits in the garage. Would the off sets matter because just in case I need to pull the car out onto the drive way? Just didn't want the car to sit on the factory tires, just got 1000 miles on the evo.

Doubt they will clear the brakes. Might be better off putting the car on jack stands instead.

Agreed. I won a set of wheels at MOD that, I believe, were for an eclipse. My plan was to use them for a winter setup but they hit the brake calipers. My guess is that you would have the same problem with wheels from a Lancer.

Thanks guys for the info. I've looked into donuts but seems like discount tires, tire plus and National tires and batteries sells only rims for evo x no donuts. Plus they told me that the car needs to be driven in to get install. Estimated cost for the cheapest tires and rims out the door is about $600 out the door. SO as for now I just pull my car in and out of the garage so the car doesn't sit to long in one position.
