well i've discovered that my 18" rims wont clear evo8 brembo's. I could get extended studs, and a spacer but then that would bring the tire/rim way out past the fender and look like crap, so my alternative are EVO X MR rims. anybody have these on their VR4? can you post pics? also if anyone on this site has an EVO X MR with those rims that lives in Socal, would you be willing to meet up so i can test fit one of them on my VR4? any help is appreciated

The Evo X rims having a lower offset and being wider than your existing rims will more than likely sit out of the fenders just as much as your existing rims with spacers. Having said that, the Evo X rims would look far nicer than your current rims. Also for the love of god, don't colour match the centers - they look so much better left as is.

PS: get rid of that damn muffler. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

^^^It's probably a 1g system since that's how they exit on 1g cars.

Why not run any Evo fitment 17x8 rim?
Usually +35-38 work, depending on spoke design.

Just put them on Mike. With some camber and your fenders rolled they should fit fine. They are only a half inch wider. As long as you fit the correct +1 tire sizing considering it is another inch in diameter to the 8/9's. The width fitment will match what you see on people running 8/9's.

I can only attest to my setup which is an Evo 8/9 rim running 235/45/17, my tires rub even with quite a bit of camber, no fender roll. I can only imagine the Evo 10 rims would exacerbate this problem and would probably require both.

Where do your tires rub? My 17x8 +35 with 245/40 setup only rubbed on the front plastic inner fender liner in front of the tire, and only during tight turns. I get absolutely zero rubbing anywhere else.

Fender cuts into the sidewall. It's not bad actually, but you can see a small line on the sidewall from it. I don't have any rub in a corner. I should be clear, my rims are Drag DR-31 17x8 +35 and my front end is quite low. I have less than a finger from the top of the tire to the edge of the fender, and I got some tiny fingers. Not to change the subject, but I have the sneaking suspicion that the mount angle for the top plate on the drivers side of the perch is wrong. I know for a fact they are not the same, side to side, and at identical camber, the passenger wheel is much more negative than the drivers side. So it may just be a frame issue with 379. Maybe slipped into a curb in the snow before I bought it, who knows.

Fender liners? There's supposed to be a plastic thing under there? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

^^ because the track is not the same width front and rear. The front wheel track is some 10-20mm wider than the rear wheel track. This is the case for 99% of passenger vehicles and vans on the roads today.

Wrong rims man. Those are EVO X GSR's I said EVO X MR's I even posted a pic of the rims up top. Maybe nobody has these rims on a Galant VR4 yet. I guess I'm just gonna have to find someone with a set and see of they are willing to let me test fit one on my car.

Yes, the MR wheels are gorgeous compared to those but for fitment reasons there is your answer.

So the MR's will fit exactly the same as the GSR's then? I thought they would be a little dufferent like offset wise
