*****UPDATE with pics*******

Hi, need help in this. Some guy is selling me 5 ENKEI RPF1 in mate black like new with used Falken Azenis rt-615 tires under ..... $1000.. I know it's imposible but he's just tired of having the rims in the garage. The rims are like new, good condition. It's a sweet deal. The thing is that the wheels are 18x8.5 wide, thats ok but the offset is 30. I know some people that use 38 and 36 offset in their lancers.


Why you guys think about that? it will fit on my car? I lowered my car with TEINS. If i have to roll the fenders it's ok . But i want to know if that offset is too much for my Lancer GTS. The guy is like 2 hours of where i live, it's difficult to try the wheels on my car.

I search the internet and found a page that gives you info comparing tha sotck tire and wheel with the new wheel you are installing.
http://www.bigcustomwheels.com/rt_specs.jsp

Here's the comparasion info.

Stock tire and wheel is 215/45 18x7 46 offset.
New tire and wheel is 235/40 18x8.5 30 offset.

Suspension
100% clear (leaves even more room than OEM)

Fenders
Package will stick out 26 mm (1'') farther. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset.

Wheelwells
100% clear (leaves even more room than OEM)

Wath do you think guys , I don't have much time to decide.

He's selling the black one in this pic.

if you your car is lowered then i think you're going to need more than rolling the fenders.. going to need some negative camber front and back.. those are close to evo x fitaments...

Turbotech

Correct they are for EVO . Negative camber equals less life for the tires rigth?

I have TEINS.

you may be able to get by with just rolling your fenders..if you look in the agressive lancer pic thread theres a guy running 8.5 +35 i believe and i dont think he had too much work done..

Turbotech

Thanks, let me see if I can find that lancer.

I really need help deciding in this, it's a really good deal.

If your dropped on tein springs, then you will need to roll fenders. The other guy with the Evo X Wheels with 245/40/18 with 18x8.5 +38 didn't rub on Stock Height but if done on hard U turns or turns then it will rub. I think it will be possible with 235 tires with teins though.

i like those

Turbotech

Anyone knows of some lancer 08 09 running a low offset. I check the other threads and the lowest is 38 I think. Let me see if I can try those rims in the next days. It's 2 hours trip to only try those wheels..hmmm

Thanks for the opinions.

Turbotech

Opinions please!!!

leeminho86

He's running same set up.

Edit: Nevermind just saw your last post, didn't know these were 18x8 38+, my bad.

im running 18x8 + 30 used to be with 245 tires (no rubbing nothing) switched to 215 because i wanna lower to play safe

Turbotech

After a 2 hour trip to the seller house I finally mounted the Enkei 18x8.5 30 offset today!!!!!!!! The setup is very agressive but the stance and look is awesome.

Here are the pics!!!! I'm in love with the look, and with the body kit I have here It gonna look aweasome.

I think im the first running this setup : Enkei RPF1 18x8.5 30 Offset with Falken Azenis tires.

Opinions please!

Turbotech

Well, what can I say, I have no problems with turns because of the low offset.
Rubbing issues, well I haven't hit a dip or pot holes. No rubbing for now but I think it will. I have TEINS.

You will judge the pics.

Turbotech

Pics are up!!! woooooo ^^^^^^^^
