Yes i am going to be putting EVO rims on my 2g eclipse. the tire size on the EVO rims are 235/45/17. my question will these rims and tires fit? I still have stock suspension on my eclipse so that will help i think. any info will be great. thanks

What kind of Evo rims? I am also interested in this question / reply! Also looking into doing this!

They should fit without problem.

EVO 8 rims. And will i have a problem with them rubbing? I have been looking at other post and i am confused. but as long as they don't rub.

No rubbing and they look great I am rocking evo 8 rims

I have Evo Enkei's on mine. My profile pic shows the fit. Awesome wheels!

sweet that is good news. thanks for the info. will the off set on the rim hit the fenders also? i was thinking about getting a fender roll if they did.

I'm running Evo 8 Enkei's on my car, and if I can run them on my 1G with no rubbing issues, you can definitely run them on your 2G.

I got Evo 9 Enkei's 235/45/17 dropped 1" Perfect fit.

I also have evo 8's with 235/45/17 with eibach pro kit springs. No fitment issues at all.

nice i feel better knowing there are other dsmers out there that have EVO Enkei's on there cars. Also on 2g brake calipers did you buy the Galant steering knuckles to do your front caliper swap? wanted to ask and see how many have bought the knuckles.

I rock evo 8's on 235/45 with pro springs and no issues. Also did brembo swap but I used the kmv brackets instead of buying knuckles.

You'll find more of us who actually have EVO VIII and IX wheels with Brembos using the custom brackets than JDM Galant knuckles because the knuckles aren't that easily accessible.

Looking back on it I wish I went the JDM Galant knuckle route.

nice and yea i was going to do that but i decided to go with the Galant knuckles.

Should i change out the brake lines to SS brake lines?

If you have the money, yes!

I might as well do that as well.
