i know this is the Volks but they are the exact size and offset as my evo 8's all DSM suspension underneath, with eibach sportlines, rubs at full lock.... dont care. As you can see, no sticky-outy, not hellaflush, hellafunctional /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Would have taken a pic of 501 on the evos but its jackstand ballin, with a custom multi-piece center diff right now. Got a lil over exited about yesterdays snow storm...



Evo X wheels same exact size as my Volks! Would prolly run a 245, just don't be as lowered as me /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I got a set of adjustable rear control arms for a 3kgt after i bent some meant for a dsm. they are a ton thicker and so far so good, heres the link if anyone cares Looks like They Make Em For DSM Now



Pretty sure myself and others have posted exact parts list to build those arms for like 80 bucks. Not positive though, you'll have to search, and I built mine years ago so pricing might not be that good now. 155 seems reasonable though to not have to actually do any of the work.

I just put mine on. I am going to spray them dark bronze. The fronts do stick out a little.

Ha yeah I need to get some springs. It has new agx struts all around. The Suby is a 98 with jdm gc8 styling, 06 wrx engine with wire merge, and 05 still drivetrain. All the work was done by me. The vr4 I restored from a shell and painted myself. There are a few more cars in the yard you can't see too. I need a new hobby:p

I have to say the black time attack look is the only time Evo 8 wheels have ever appealed to me. They look so... *meh* in the other photos

I am running evo 9 mr bilsteins with swift spec r springs, and evo 9 mr bbs with yoko 245/45r17 no rub. I added 1/4" spacer in rear to match the front.

^ Go 3000GT trailing arms and brembos all around to round out the package.

f*** I wish it wasn't so snowy and cold so I could finish my setup.

why such large tyres? 235/45 would be more ideal.
