Black Racing Pro-N1 fitment?
These rims are available in 17x8 with a +31 or +38 offset.
Which should I get to fit best with the stock Advan rubber, and clear the caliper?

I read somewhere that anything over +28 should fit the Evo just fine, but I'm sure there is the other extreme as well (too much offset).

I searched and found 1 thread regarding the Pro-N1's, it said they DO fit, but doesn't mention which offset was used for fitment.

thanks

that says 17x9 with +38...I'm planning on the 17x8.
Do you think its safe to say the +31 OR +38 will work for the 17x8?

thanks

the +38's most certainly won't fit in a 17x8 - the +31 should but it will be extremely close, as value posted

I talked to a guy from ravspec and he said that the +38's are the offset specifically for the Evo.

I'm getting conflicting reports here.

And I was all ready to order them.....grr
