Again, coming back to my Rota +30 question... if you do have to use a spacer, what do you recommend? I saw a company called t1r selling 3mm spacers... are they good a brand? Was checking for ichibas which i currently use in 5mm and they don't do smaller than that.

Well, Rota's are Rota's. lol Depends on your color preference, but Ill tell you this, if my Evo was RR I'd definitly be going with a flat black wheel if I was settling with a Rota. The Grids are nice, so are the G-Force wheels. Not sure if they make subzero's in a reasonable offset or size for what Evo's would ideally run.

For my CE28N's, I run a +28 offset, 18X9.5's using Toyo T1R's in 245/35/18. If I could go back, I would have gotten a 255 but it's not bad as is. They are perfectly flush with the fenders and dont rub under any circumstance (lowered on Tein S-Techs/stock shocks at the moment). I imagine if I went with a 17", I would have gone a similar setup with the exception of 40 series instead of 35 series tires.

If you find a higher offset wheel, you can always retort to spacers (preferably bolt ons like hub-centrics).

thanks man ill look into it. i really like flat black but do you think it will look odd with alot of gloss black stuff on my car?

Naw, I prefer the sporty look of flat black. I think gloss black looks cheezy if that maks any sense.

Found an amazing deal on these wheels and I want them for winter

The specs are:
17x7.5 with a +45 offset
The bolt pattern is correct. (5x114.3)

Question is, will I be ok with that offset?? Will i be ok with the brembo brakes?
Will I need spacers?
I don't mind buying spacers iff necesary.

Thanks

If your buying them from a private sale, just do a test fit right in front of the guy and if they fit, buy them then.

What do they look like? It helps if there's a nice outward curve to the spokes. That offset if going to throw the face of the wheel a little more towards the outside of the rim compared to stock and pull the wheels in from the fenders but the reduced width is going help clear stuff. I'd probably run a 215/50. That would be a good winter size for a 7.5" wide wheel.



They might fit, they might not it's hard to tell. Evo's can present a challenge for wheels that fit. Just for a joke I went to the local tire store to see if they could at all compare to online prices for my winter setup. Les Schwab told me they only had one wheel in their catalog that fit the evo. I looked at it. It was ugly as sin and they wanted over $230ea. just for the wheels.

They probably won't clear the brembos. Very few wheels clear the brembos without spacers. Most of them are in the <30 offset and have been designed to clear large calipers.

So I wanna buy Nitto NT-05's however
I don't think they make them in 255/35/18
So next option is 265/35/18. I have 18x9 +29
Advan RS's

I wanted to know if anyone had any pics so I can see how "beefy" the tires would
Be.

I have no pics, but I was planning this setup on Advan RZs. From what I gather, they will fit well...

But also in for some pics.
