Tire / Wheel Fitment Questions
#1876
Ok so I have a question about Fitment....... Yay!
Now I'm about to buy a set of 17x9 +22 gramlight 57D's, now I'm guessing someone has asked this question before but I'm over researching and need to know cause I really want these wheels. I know the fronts are fine it's just the rears I'm worried about, they have already been roiled to clear the 17x8.5 +30 TE37's that are on there cause I run 255/40/17 federal RSR. Apperantly because they are a round wall tire they count as a 265 when it comes to Fitment and they use to scrub, I run -3.0 camber up front and -1.5 rear.

Hey,
I'm thinking about putting MSR 043's on my 2006 ralliart... It's lowered on tien's and the rims are a +35 offset 17x7.5 . most likely just be sticking to a 205/40/17 tire.. maybe a 215 if that will work?
Im wondering if i will have enough clearance or will i have to do some fender mods?
Let me know what u think!
Thanks

Hey guys, im thinking about getting a square set up of work meisters s1 3p in 18x9.5 + 23,24, or 29 (not too sure). Not sure of the modification that would be needed, and if the stock brembos would fit. I also forgot to mention that this will be a daily driver, it will never see the track, and will ride on stock blistens and on swift spec r springs.
Now i did try to look for the answer but the ones i found weren't in the sizes i wanted or were to radical for for : https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ml#post9643490 (post 5985) and http://www.rimtuck.com/setup/view/783
Thanks for your time

Should have posted this here first instead of a new thread
I have a set of 17x8.5 30 offset RPF1s that I want to run a 255-40 tire and I'm looking at a set of the GTWorx springs with MR Bilsteins. Will the rears rub with that wide of a tire, slightly lowered? I have neither parts on the car now, and I wanted to check before I bought tires and springs.

Currently on Stock wheels (evo 8) and snow tires. Really need to pull the snows off so I'm looking at new wheels and tires. Does anyone know if WEDSSPORT TC105N 17x9 +35 with Dunlop Z1 245/40 will fit on stock suspension with no spacers, no rubbing and no fender rolling/pulling?
New to buying wheels and tires so I've done a lot of research but couldn't find anything about someone running this exact setup.
Thanks

So I have owned my evo for about 8 months now if not more. When I bought the evo it already had 19x10 wheels on it. They rub when doing full turns as in as far as you can turn it. Also I think there is the possibility I'm losing a couple of inches on how far they will turn. You can here the power steering staring when i have it firmly turned all the way. When it comes to wheels I know literally nothing I have heard of wheel spacers etc can anyone give me a detailed way I could possibly fix this without having to buy new wheels.

Ok, so I am tired of searching....
I would like to run the rpf1's in either 17x9 or 17x9.5, with a 255/40/17 star spec or Hankook rs-3. Suspension will be Bilstein HD's on swift spec-r's. I have read that the 17x9 +38 offset will work with a 20mm spacer up front, which will allow me to still rotate tires, which is important. Can anyone confirm this? Also, what offset/spacers work with the 17x9.5's? I don't want to have to do too much body work to make them fit....maybe a light roll.

Uber Noob here, know nothing about tire sizes, offsets, spacers or anything relevant to wheels and tires.
I love the Enkei rajin...I want to make sure that the 18x8.5 will fit with a 235/40r/18 tire on it. I have the MR bilstein and Swift spring set up. Will I need to roll the fenders if I go with this setup, will it even fit? Do i need spacers? HELP!
Thanks
