As a lot of cars start to come in, most people want to upgrade their wheels sooner rather then latter

I have fitted late model EVO wheels o my car they are 17" x 8" with +38 off set and they clear every thing fine, the only problem will be with heavily lowered cars may require the guards rolled.

You will definately get rubbing at the back with the evo wheels if the car is lowered, but it isn't much trouble to fix at all.

Mine are all fitted up and aligned now, when i forst put them on i was getting some Bump steer (tramlining is also known as) and was pulling to the left or right suddenly, the tyre place that i took it to said my caster and camber where fine but both wheels where toed out 9 degrees, so that straightened it all up and now it drives like a dream

EVO 5/6 = 17x7.5", 38mm offset
EVO7/8/9 = 17x8", 38mm offset

Both sizes of EVO wheels will fit fine, but if you have a lowered car you will need to roll the rear guards, most people fit 225/45/17 or 235/45/17 to EVO wheels, the rear guards will need to be rolled regardless of the size.

may aswell collect info from peoples experiences....

first of all.... tyre size calculator to make sure your speedo stays as acurate as possible...

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html,

now in my experience...



---------------------------------------------------------------------------

18" x 8.5" rim 35 offset, with a 225/40/18 tyre will fit on a lowered car with no problems.

if the camber fix/mod is done, the rear guards need to be rolled,


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

17" x 7" rim 40 offset, with a 215/40/17 will fit with no issues at all.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

18" x 8" rim 38 offset, with a 225/40/18 tyre will fit on a lowered car with no problems.

if the camber fix/mod is done, the rear guards need to be rolled,

have a search on clubvr4 for it.

basically when you lower the car you get to much negitive camber,
its how to straighten them back up.

the wider the offset you have the more grip you will have. Something to do with the physics of it all :)

Hey Guys,

I am beginning to understand all this, but I believe that I read somewhere that it is not good for all wheel drive cars to have a different offset on the front to the back, as it applies uneven strain on the centre differential, and that the AYC may not function as efficiently.

Gavin
