    They look like they're 17x8 ET35 and 17x9 ET43?

    The little flat area next to EK will be the offset. Can't quite make out the value on the wider ones.

    My wheels are either 17x8 and 17x9 (or 17x9 and 17x10) with the same sized tyres (but not sure of my offsets, as I've not posted them in this thread!) - my wheels stick out from the standard arches, so have had arch extensions fitted - rears have had arches cut underneath to give clearance.

    Thanks Confused - feedback and advice much appreciated!

    It looks like with the 255 rears I will need 10mm spacers so I'm wondering if I fit the 235s on the rear the same as the front whether this will still fit OK in the 9" wide rims and only need smaller spacers?

    Rather not have to modify the rear arches if I can (rolling seems fine I guess)

    I've definitely got no clearance issues on the inside edges, so offset may be different to your wheels. You'll be fine with 235 width tyres on the 9" wheels if it's the tyres that are rubbing as opposed to the rims.

    18x8.75 ET20? Probably running something like 225/40 or even 35 if needs be.
    Some wheels have come up that are ET33, had it in my head i wanted to try and see if 20 would work simply because i like the concave look and the 33s are much less noticeable. Oh and 33 and 20 are the 2 options so no middle ground unfortunately.

    33 will be close, but I reckon will rub on the rear arch - definitely with 235 rubber, probably with 225 rubber. 20 wouldn't stand a chance without arch modification.

    Could I be so bold as to ask if the experienced clever chaps on here would know if the following wheels would fit a pre facelift Legnum and clear Brembos?

    They might be a tiny bit wide. I would think they would clear Brembos no probs. With 235 and above wide tyres, you will probably get some rubbing at the rear, if they don't catch anything else, that is.

    Hi fellas!

    Found some used Evo X BBS wheels and wondered if they'd fit. They're 18" x 8.5" ET38.
    I have a facelift Legnum VR-4, sitting on Tein coilovers and lowered quite a bit.
    Unfortunately can't test fit them as they're far away and don't have tires on regardless.

    If they do fit, what kinda tires should I get? I'm thinking 225/40/18?

    I ordered these for my 97 PFL in 18x8 45mm offset fitted with 225/40. Does anyone know if I will have an issue with rubbing? Keeping the stock suspension.

    I think that they will be ok I have the same size fitted with lowered suspension and they have never rubbed, you will only get a problem if you go wider than that

    Inner suspension rubbing at the rear is what I'd potentially be worried about with that offset as it's pushed inwards slightly. An Evo 4-9 wheel is 8" wide and has an offset of about +35 and sits about perfect in terms of clearances.

    Thanks for the reply. I ordered 3mm spacers to reduce the offset to +42. I'm thinking this will be perfect.
