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.

" And judging how it was driven with 75km on the clock I didn't want it. Still Blue definitely the best colour.

I'm not really seure. I think idts the height of the tire as well. Might need to go to 40 profiles. I also had people in t's he back seat. It rubs on most turns in the rear with passengers.
I'm going to put these 225 tires on the oem wheels in the summer. While I lower the car and foll the fenders then find the best wheels. There was a night and day difference in the car's road manners with the larger wheels and tires.
Even my buddy noticed the safer stability.

the two upper "mesh" grill inserts , the lower mesh grill insert , the fog lights , the chrome ring and the chrome mitsu emblem.
if the bumper / nose is removed you see all of the screws holding everthing to the molded nose piece.
.......the ring is just chrome plated plastic ! !
