The wheels are meant for my evo. I'm not using them, I like the IX wheels on the 8.
Wheels are Rota Torque in Bronze. I'm using them for winter wheels. You can't beat $450 bucks on black friday. I like the Rota Grids a lot too. I might get them in the summer or the real deal ones. In the right size.
18x8 +35
I put on 225 tires on it. They still rub. I put this size on because C22rc, has the same setup with 235's. Both our setups rub. The rear wheel space is soooo small.
They are not a good fit for the RA because the rears rub. They stick out just a little. Evo parts are a lot bigger...
Anything close to this size will rub. I will probably go to 17 inch wheels if I plan on lowering the car.
You need to be in the +40's for offset.
Then you probably won't be able to fit 8" wheels. Or even 8.5".
I plan on getting the fenders rolled and a full Robispec suspension setup. I'm going to do the TSX projector retrofit for the headlights. No tinting for me though. I'll get pulled over all the time.
I'm also waiting for a stage 2 kit. Maybe from Buschur or AMS....Whoever has the best package. Also get flashed from Sean. I don't know about power stuff yet.

Yeah, when I picked up my plates. I asked them to use the evo license plate bracket. They hooked me up the part for free. (Took it out of the MR I was sitting in). It was 12 bucks to install it. (I hate doing body work, especially drilling into stuff).
This bracket is alot stronger than the one on evo 8's. I took the 8 through auto car wash before and it tore it off.
This one isn't going anywhere. Plus, it won't block the intercooler in any way form or shape. Plus, its Mitsubishi unique yo. It's different!
