18x8.5 Evo X GSR Wheels on a TL...







Tires are 245x40x18s... Fitment and thoughts on a SSM TL??? Local deal that I might not be able to pass up.

what's the offset of these. I like them and I think they would look good. There is a member that had some Evo X wheels on, but not the same style. Not sure if the specs are the same but they search for doughboy I believe his name is

Offset is +38... I can't believe they didn't glue the balancing weights inside the wheels instead of hammering them on the outside...

I can't comment on the looks as they are different and looks are subjective anyways, but I had the BBS from the MR and they were great. IMO, its the perfect (conservative) sizing and combined with the lightness of the BBS and the sticky advans in 245.

Just make sure you pick up the mitsibishi lugs since they use washers

These are made by Enkei. I wonder if they are the same weight as the 17" stockers? Or lighter?

And heres a pic to show you the "fitment". Its a nice step up from stock sizing yet not wide to the point where you will have rubbing issues no matter how low you go. Very good track setup or if performance is your priority

Dougboy - How about the diff in center bore? I thought mitsu was something like 67.1 and our tl was a 64.1. Did you need hubrings?

Buff - I saw an X recently and was also wondering how these wheels would look on the tl. Take lots of pics for me if you pick them up.
