meh. they'll fit. just make sure you dont get outrageously big tires... hell, some people even got 19s on their lancer!!. you might just wanna watch out when you turn, you get rubbing with your tires sometimes.

Remember though, the larger the rim size, the more careful you have to be when driving over speed bumps, potholes, etc...

That SHOULD fit just fine, if the rims are 7.5" or maybe 7" wide.

Everybody keep in mind that offset is very important. If you have something like a 55mm offset, it WILL NOT fit on the Lancer. And also be careful running 18s or 19s because the small sidewall (like 30-40 series) makes it very easy to damage the rim (potholes, railroad tracks, etc.). As nice as they look, keep in mind you have to act like you're driving on egg shells.
