05-06 ralliarts have bigger wheel wells than 05-06 lancers?
did not know that. gonna have to look into it.
im just asking because im on the fence on either coils+17x8 et25 all around, coils+17x8 front, x9 rear et 25, or just stick with tein s techs
+ new shocks +buddyclub 16x7+205/50/16 (basically ralliart fitment).

Naw bro, that is for the front, when you get your coils you will know what im talking about. The Rear struts only has two holes where the two bolts on the rear strut connect to the car. The picture on the right has three bolts and is way to wide to fit where the rear strut would.

My first wheels I ever had were 17x7.5, Im guessing with a +35 or +40 offset, on tein s-techs and that **** would rub like a ****. The s tech do not drop the car low at all and i was rubbing so that tells you that you might run into problems with coils. Another problem you will have is actually finding a 17in wheels that is 4 lug with low offsets and wide dimensions unless you either (1) do a 5 lug conversion or (2) order a custome wheel. Like i said before, our cars might be able to pull off the lower offsets if we had camber kits available but we dont. If you want wide wheels i would go with 16x9 at the most with +15 being the lowest offset which would definitely be poking. If you want flush fitment the best in MY opinion, and this is just from my experience with the three wheels setup i had and seeing other lancers, would be 16x8 +20 in the front and 16x9 +25 or higher in the rear. Or you can get 16x8 all around with +25 and than just buy spacers until you achieve the right amount of flushness lol so for example, 3mm spacer up front with a 5mm in the rear to make all wheels flush but honestly you dont need one up front because mine are flush in the front with +26 and 0 degrees of camber. But if your into poke, and mexiflush, and all that other jazz than i cant really give advice on that....

+20 is the max if you arent rolling your fenders at all. But if you are, then i would say probably like a 0 offset, cause theres a guy i saw with a 0 offset and his fenders are rolled. This is only for a 16x8. Dude a 17x8 will be rubbing everywhere. Our cars are not made with big wheel wells like the 350z's and evos and all those other cars. I think the biggest for 17s is like a 17x7.5 depending on the offset and how beefy or thin of tires you want. 17x9.5 with a 20 offset, i doubt thatll fit even with the fenders pulled a **** ton

Tein Basic Driving Master coilovers at about 2" lower in front, slightly less in the back to even out the rake. They're kidney punchers, but okay on a non-daily basis. Combined with the Progress sway bar and the custom mounts, it handles like a go kart, or a FWD General Lee. You don't drive over bumps so much as fly over them.
