The Brembo-equipped GC's front rotors are 13.4"; the EVO's are 13.7"...so pretty close. I guess I gotta find someone local with these on another car, willing to let me try mounting one up
Give NLMotoring a call. They are the biggest distributor of XXR wheels and are extremely familiar with the Evo and fitments.

Nope. 8.75. I have stock sized tires and didnt want any stretch look basically.

Here is a listing of all their sizes: http://www.xxrwheels.com/xxr_527.shtml

No issues fitting over the calipers or are you running spacers? Assuming you went with the +20 offset.

Doesn't look too bad at stock height. From the pics anyway. Not bad.

Thanks guys. I think it could be lowered a touch to finish it off. I've had lowered cars where I live though and the winters are not nice to the car.

A side angle shot would show how flush it is to the fender and its pretty flush. Doesnt stick out though and that was one of my goals. Not into the poked look

I'll post a pic of the rear when I get home

Looking good! you may need to roll your fenders if you go for a wider set of tires though..

@Adam - Yup, I'm kinda looking at getting my car lowered too but really having 2nd thoughts because of our winter season. I'm lazy to swap suspensions.
