seems like there's a lot of room on the back for 9s, cant say much about the front. coilover is probably what ill be waiting for

You will probably have to break down each wheel and tire to install the sensors from your stock wheels if you want it to stop.

yeah after the left the tire shop the sensors didnt go off right alway. i thought i was in the clear but after 10 minutes of driving it came on. i wonder if those sensors size are universal so u can transfer it from one wheel to the next.

Nice rims, but doesn't really look good with Silver and white combo, just my opinion. I'm more Black/White, Bronze/white, Gold/white, white/white guy. silver on white just looks weird.

^ yeah trust me ive been doing a lot of combinations(with a little help from photochop). my first choice was white+gold but i didnt want a lot of attention, just want to keep it simple. black with silver lip...everybody has. white rims too hard to keep clean. i was actually thinking about chrome..nah. once lowered the silver and white will blend in nice. the less of tires you see the better

I love it how the new lancer can run more aggresive wheels. But it looks silly to me. The car sits so high stock that it doesnt help it to put aftermarket wheels on look wise. When its dropped it will look amazing. Probably have to get the fenders rolled from the looks of it.

Those look nice man. I cant wait to see your car after its dropped.

And like mitsuozboi said: You will most likley have to roll the fenders when you do go lower. Here is a link and "how to" on fender rolling.

i can never understand why you "roll" your fenders. i though u roll to give your fender more flare, make it stick out more. it seems from the link the guy is just rolling the inner llip up, kind of folding the edges

Rolling the fenders is indeed.... rolling over the lip on the bottom to accomodate wider tires.... so it doesnt rub metal. Fender flares are a complete different thing. Often called "pulled fenders". Pulling the fender flares it out more which gives even more room for wider tires.
