I would say 17's if you are still on the stock turbo and 18's if you are on an aftermarket turbo. IMO You have to think about total roll out of the 17 vs. the 18. A lot of it depends on the tire size too.

lightweigh 17" will rule on any track day. 18's will be great for street use and look awsome. 19's look killer. imo

If they did, you're speedo would also be wrong.

what is the correct offset for the EVO IX MR. I want 18inch. I dont want to lose any handling. I dont want the tires to rub. What is the perfect size for the IX MR?
