I did a preliminary setup with some ****ty lugs I bought from vato zone. Stay tuned after some peking duck! The verdict is... "it's not that bad".

These wheels were a bit more 'custom' than the average SP3. For that reason, the lead times were pushed back one shipment to finish the production on this particular set. Fortunately the end result turned out to be a success! We're pleased to see how nicely everything turned out.

Hahahahahahahahaha

"The verdict is...it's not that bad"

Why can I imagine a bunch of people standing around the car probably holding some pizza or maybe a beer, all staring at eachother waiting for someone to be the first to speak...and then here comes random friend dude who says...well, it's not THAT bad, and everybody just turns and walks away lol.

I'm assuming you have quite a bit of work to do to fit that under the car nicely? Updated pics would be amazing! Even if they are teasers!

Front fender liner modifications, complete rolling of fenders and pulling is my guess to make them fit with no rubbing. Not sure how much pulling will be required since he is running spacers in the rear.

Happy 4th! I just got my lugs yesterday.

They're not THAT bad... I think. Yes, I will need to do a full fender roll and a slight pull. I hear buckling is a killer on Evo x quarter panels, so more camber will be necessary.

Those rims look nice! You will need a roll because those are riding close.

Have to say I don't like the stretched tires. The Evo is neither a 240 or a Euro. It's an AWD track/rally monster. That being said, I ran stretched tires on my S14.

But as long as you like it. I was actually wondering how 19s would look on the X.

like the wheels, nice choice and they are huge! that being said the tires look like they belong on a 240, silvia or some drift car running 5 degree neg camber. 275 fits my 9.5 wheel nice, and your wheels are a full 2 inches wider! get some real tires, and be prepared to WORK the fenders.

either way, nice job doing something different and keep us posted on how it turns out! gl
