Evo 8/9 Offset Trailing links

I have a set of trailing links that I made for my Evo that allow you to fit up to an 11" wheel under your Evo's OEM quarter panel. Great for people running 285 Hoosiers and want to keep their tires from rubbing the trailing link, or for people who want to step up to 10" and 10.5" wheels without having to buy a widebody.

Pictures below are how it fits with 18x10 RPF1's +38 offset no spacer. 295/30/18 tires.



I have approximately 10mm of clearance between the wheel and the link with my 18x10.5 +38 CCWs with the same 295/30/18 wheels.

I'm selling this set because I made another set that I powder coated. Comes with a replaceable ball joint and an Energy suspension Polyurethane rear bushing painted black. I'm asking 495. Ready to ship!

Questions or offers, please PM me. Thank you

-Eric

you should attempt to mass produce these or setup a group buy so you can lower the price a tad. if it were closer to 300 i would seriously be interested... I've never bothered to research what hold the car back from running 10+in tires without a widebody so forgive my question... but is there anything holding back the front suspension fitting a like sized tire?

I'm pretty good a calculating the true outter diameter of a tire so in the event its something major i could easily match a normal width tire with the same diameter as a fatter rear tire but having 11in tires all the way around would greatly improve traction.

You can fit an 11" wheel up front. It's been done on OEM fenders. There is some work to getting it done, but I can help anyone who's interested in putting that wide of a tire/wheel on their car.

I have this set for sale. Please let me know if you're interested.

They are the exact same weight as stock within 5grams. I weighed them versus the OEM links this past weekend.

Hey RT, getting some work done to my Evo right now and have 17x.9.5's +28 with 275/40/17 tires (similar street set up).

I have slight rubbing on the track with this set up and want that to go away for next season. I'm not sure so asking the question, will these help?

If not, suggestions on how to make this happen without doing hardcore body work?

I'm running a mildly aggressive alignment for the track (from TC motorsports) with -2.1-ish I think in the rears. Maybe just more camber?
