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

 

Very nice. Any plans to paint the calipers?

 

heck yeah! got the paint already. just waiting for my next day-off! i have red, wonder if they sell gold/bronze paint?hmm

 

Gold eh? I'm interested in seeing that.

 

im very glad to see good things happening to 08`s

 

lol itll have to be red unless u know where i can buy gold/bronze caliper paint

 

Autozone? Mmmm.. auto parts shops probably. Kragen, Pepboys, check them all out.

 

^they only have red/blue, crapp yellow and even blue. no gold

 

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

 

looks real good,defnitly need to lower it...it will look so much better

 

looks good, now DROP it like it's hot.

 

that looks great!!! do they have any lowering springs for these cars out yet?

 

^^they do have lowering springs by 2 companies, but you cant really notice except in person.

and NICE sexy rims man. looks real good. just wait for the RRM coilovers

 

Looks good. They like Evo X wheels.

 

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
