1G EVO Enkei on 1G

[AWD-Tony]

What's up fellas!! I recently picked up a set of EVO Enkei with some curb rash which I'm currently repairing and plan on painting white. I have 215/50/17 that still have plenty of tread left but I'd like to see the different tire size 1g guys are running. Please post a pic and tire size you're running.

Thanks
Tony

Thanks OH91AWD! That's a lot of poke up front for me.

Thanks OH91AWD! That's a lot of poke up front for me.

i didnt think it was that bad imo. this pic really doesnt show it well imo. but it was the only one i have on this comp.

 

[AWD-Tony]

I see. Might have been the angle of the pic. Thanks for the post!!

They seem to poke out in the front no matter what you do. I have 235/45/17s on my evo8s and it looks good.. just wider in the front.

Thanks Joe! Last picture says it all. The rim does poke out just a bit. I've read the other threads about these wheels and think someone said 225's are the smallest you can run on them.

Evo wheels really don't have enough offset for a 1g.

 

[19gsx91]

Yeah the 235s feel just a little stretched but its not bad. I think a 245 would be more comfortable on the rim. ^^^ Bastard is right.. the front tire really could be sucked in more.

 

[AWD-Tony]

That kinda sucks. I might sell/trade them. Thanks for the input everyone!

235/40/17 pilot sports. They grab decently too

 

[AWD-Tony]

205/45s and these tires look terrible. The poke is only noticeable from the front profile. I might stick with these with maybe 225/50s. 17x7s are perfect imo

[AWD-Tony]

They are. Tire is so out of round. The car it came off of prob drove like they were on bricks.
