Question on wheel fitment (yes i searched)

[mckooter]

Okay, the only reason I ask is I am literally getting these wheels for nothing, just web work. My car is crappy, 2g GS but they are really nice wheels:

the wheels are:

Gramlight T57-RC
17x9 38mm offset, (ordered for an EVO by original customer)

i am willing to roll my fenders but am concerned that it still wont work, I have a sportline drop on the car...

I searched both wheel fitment (and read the guide) and 17x9, the posts were old and I didnt find any definitive answers, possibly by now someone has tried this?

I know everyone hates wheel fitment as its asked over and over again, im just trying to see if there is more information since the posts i read in my search

Thanks

Chris

17x9 isn't going to fit. Too wide. My drag radials rub the control arm sometimes and they are only 8in. wide. I would sell those bitches and buy 3 other sets of rims for your car.

38mm is probably a little too close to the inner control arm. I run 255/40/17 on 17x9-35 offset. The fronts dont tuck, but my springs are stiff and high enough to keep them from rubbing. The rears I rolled my fender and they clear with no issues.

Actually, Eclipsegsx1736 is using 17x9's 38offset with a 245/40 tire.

I wouldnt run that wide with Sportlines though. They arent near stiff enough to be running a non-tuck set-up.
