First Evo X on SA15R?
Finished installing all my parts. Maybe lower the front a bit more? What do you guys think? It still needs an alignment.. My setup is 18x10.5 +12 all around 255/35 Federal RS-R tires, they run wide so they're more like 265's. Rear fenders rolled only. No rubbing issues at all. Lowered on Fortune Auto Coilovers 9k/9k rates, they feel great! Bought this car 3 months ago brand new completely stock. Thanks for looking guys.. More pics to come...

Here's one more picture
Needs an alignment, it seems the front wheels have the toe way off they are sort of pointing inward.. Should an alignment take care of this?

Yes they are similar. I went with these because I liked the glossy black/bronze finish on them instead of the matte gunmetal black on the Enkeis

A tad lower in the front, and you're golden.

Those rims look awesome on your car by the way

Thank you! I do plan on lowering the front a bit more but I'm waiting on the coilovers/springs to settle first, that might drop it 0.25 inch more.

Rims look great! I'ma go against popular opinion and say it looks good as is, Evo is supposed to have a rake up towards the front.

Of course, depends if you wan performance or looks.

Thanks, I do plan on tracking the car once in a while, I may just leave the front height as is instead of having to raise it up every time I go to the track.

Just my luck guys. A day after my new setup I got rear ended in my brand new Evo doesn't look too bad I'm hoping there is no frame damage. I'm really sad haha

Good thing I have AAA full coverage they are waiving my deductible since it wasn't my fault.. Now I'm wondering if I should take my new wheels off before I drop it off.. I'm too lazy to take em off
