New rims on my 08 Lancer!*56knono*

ah gota love it. took me 2 weeks to finally get these on. they are R-1 wheels from wheelnext.com. definitely worth the wait. so here they are 19x8.5 with +35 offset 225/35 tires...i was so worried they wont fit*whew* no rub or clearance problem. i say if ur going to put rims on ur 08, make them 19s! shouldnt have a problem with 245 tires but i wanted to play it safe. i can probably go with 19x9...if the offset is right(but dont take my word for it).



view from the rear. love how it lines up with the fender


and finally the gap!...



is it just me or the front is set higher then the rear? the evo x is the same way. i know i need a drop bad but when i do ill just drop the front. the rear seems perfect.
oh btw my tps sensor is beeping

I think Drucea said they have stuff at Wal-mart. That's where he got his valve cover paint in blue. PM him.

Yeah it does, maybe you can get away with 9"wide with a tad higher offset or maybe same offset with a tire stretch or not, hard to tell unless it is lower
