XXR 527 or 530 17's fitment

[jtmcinder]

Quite the opposite: these spacers require long studs. I'm glad that you have that covered.

The place that makes the perfect spacers is this: Wheel Adapters, Wheel Spacers, Hub Rings, and much more! | Motorsport Tech

But I just ordered a set for test-fitting and I'll sell them to you at a discount after I've checked them out and written up a product review.

If you get your own, this is what you need to tell Lenny:

centerbore (inside): 67.1mm (Mitsu)
centering lip (outside): 73.1mm (Rota)
bolt pattern: 5x114.3mm
thickness: whatever you wish between 5mm and 10mm - mine are 8mm

Don't forget to get some 67.1/73.1 centering rings for the rear wheels.

these ones? Buy Adapter | Motorsport Tech

thats the spacer i was trying to describe . Looks like he can fomr 3mm-2X mm (from the drop down anyway). these seem pretty bad ass. I may take ya up on your offer once i get the wheels and get them mounted to see what kinda spacer i need. Hows the lead time on these bad boys? great find btw!

 

[jtmcinder]

I ordered mine on Friday at 6pm our time, he'll make them Wednesday, and they'll be here Friday.

Yes, spacers that are also hub-centering rings are uber cool. Evo X folks are dying for these, since we have 8mm less inside clearance in the front than rear. That's for whom I'm testing these.

 

[glowryder]

nice. Ill order my rims tomorrow and then hopefully they will clear the brembos, if not, then ill be ordering. (if i need something other then 8mm). Thanks again sir!

 

[glowryder]

well, Got the rims and did a test fit. Looks like the +8 is deff needed. Here is a pic with a 7.75mm Spacer for test fit/ clears by a hair.. literally.

PM a snail-mail address or we can just meet half-way.

 

[glowryder]

Done . howd they work out for ya?

 

[smills1840]

Do you have tires on them yet, or are you waiting for your spacers? I really want to see pics of them on the ground.

 

[glowryder]

no tires. They clear with the spacer, but Im a little bummed, the stick out past the fender 3/4"-1"... IMO doent look good, and im not going for a stanced.. So im not sure what im doing. I may try an 18 as it see,ds the spoke design s what im fighting.

 

[ViciousLord]

can't roll and pull the fenders?

 

[glowryder]

I can probably roll the fenders, but imnot sure how to correctly "pull" them..So far You tube has only generated a phone book method, unless im missing something. the Rolling tool is something i have access to, im not sure if the same tool is used to pull the fender as well.. seems like a lot of space to make up though.

 

[ViciousLord]

If it were me I'd roll and slightly pull the fenders. Add a little bit negative camber up front (I'm not talking about stance bull crap) but a functional amount of camber... Example on my Evo I had -1.0 in the rear and -2.0 up front... Stock sway bars, with bilsteins and swift springs (1.0 drop all round) and it handled great. A little bit of negative camber up front shouldn't be too bad. Toe is what will kill your tires.

So you started out with a +35 offset added an 8mm spacer... which puts you at +27 offset... I've been looking at these wheels too but I'll go for the +25 offset and delete the spacer for my set up. Roll, pull fenders, add some negative camber up front and hopefully mount some 255/40/17.. I'm just worried about the +25 offset in the back with those meaty tires.

 

[glowryder]

I may give that a shot. any tips on correctly pulling fenders?I need lime 3/4" to make these work.. Im going to see if i can borrow a set of 18s (same rim) and see if they clear any better.. however, iven if they do , 8mm isnt going to help to much i wouldnt think.

 

[jtmcinder]

Ya know, if I drive over, I could have a set of 18x8.5 +38s in the car with me. Just sayin'.

 

[glowryder]

Im not saying the thought didnt cross my mind . My issue is id really like to reuse my tires (17s) they only have a few 100 miles on them and resell , may not be so kind.. Not to mention, ill be swapping at the track, im not sure what setting up for daily on a 18 would do to the geometry when i slap a 17 with a DR on. besides id low ball you which you already coverd

"Q: are you going to be this much of a jerk during negotiations?
A: if by "negotiations" you mean your attempt to pay less than $700+shipping, then this is nothing compared to how I'll be acting; do you know how much these wheels are worth?"

 

[kidtsi]

Keep in mind in the air any wheel would pass the fender, you need to set it in the ground with tires and by then it might be flush.

 

[jtmcinder]

Yeah, my sense of humor is probably why the wheels and brakes sold slowly, although the brakes are pretty much gone and I have a nibble on the wheels. The main reason, though, why getting Evo X wheels will make things harder for you in the long run is the 67 centerbore.

"What?" you say. "Isn't 67 perfect for a Mitsu?"

"Nope," I reply.

The trick of having identical wheels at all corners, but spacing out the fronts by 8mm, AND STILL BEING SOLIDLY HUBCENTRIC is to run wheels with a centerbore of at least 71. Rings in the rear and the funky spacers that we've been going on about in the front.

 

[psycho]

I had a local roll and "push" my front fenders out for $50 ($25 a side). He used the roller to push the fender out a tad to gain a few extra millimeters on top of the rolling.

I have no problem clearing a 255/35 S-Drive (10.2 section width) on Evo X 18x8.5's with the camber you gain on stock upper arms (no camber kit).

The rear is different, and is about 1/2" higher with less camber.

Pics ^?

 

[DIMONDSTAR77]

did you ever get these mounted up? pics?
i'm looking at getting the 530's in "17 x 8.25, maybe +25 offset with 225/45 tires. do you tire fitment guru's know if that'll rub? and will they stick out of the fenders, i'm looking for a clean, flush with the fender stance. i'm running about 1.5" drop. don't mean to thread jack, just didn't think i should start a new one due to it being the same topic, thanks for any help.

 

[DIMONDSTAR77]

Anybody have any pics of an 2g with these wheels?
