    It's a white saloon, so the fitted picture is not the perfect match for you, but it proves the fitment!

    Dunno on value? Evo alloys in dodgy condition only seem to be fetching £100-£150. Make sure they are round before you buy - everything else is fixable. Refurbs for £35-£50 a wheel and rubber is an ongoing expense anyway.

    All evo 4-x wheels fit perfectly, and everything from 5 upwards also clears brembos
    If I'm replying to your thread and helping you out, it is because I like you and want to help out your VR-4 ownership. No other reason

    They look like Evo 4 wheels which are 16". I don't think you'll get Brembos inside those.

    Doubt the Rotas would clear Brembos. Those 18"s would, as they were on an Evo 8. Can't quite see the offset, but it might be 30? Depends what the tyres on them are - likely to have rubbing issues if the tyre width is 235 or more, or if the profile is too high.

    Thanks for the response, had the disks, breaks and lines for a while but finding it harder to find wheels than i thought it would be. Been offered some off an evo 8, look like yours i think but no tyres. Might be a safe bet tho. I have an option to go new, just hard to ask the dealer if they fit as converted (not yet) Legnum!
    I love these...https://www.lkperformance.co.uk/whee...ze?vehicle=863 dont know if those will fit tho!
    If the forum does not get too annoyed I might be posting a lot of "will these fit"!
    Cheers Nev

    I am pretty sure my Evo wheels are 18x8 with a 38 offset. Spoke design makes a difference on Brembo clearance, however I do not have 7mm clearance, so you'd almost certainly need spacers.

    That makes more sense! I think I had in my head it was 3mm from +35. Just the other way

    So they could be a possibility with spacers?
    Do spacers have detrimental effects and how big can you go?
    Wheel arch issues?
    Many thank you's

    Spacers reduce the amount of thread that your wheel nut will thread onto. At 7mm I'd be researching the need for longer studs. Other than that as long as the wheel is sat in the right place I'm not sure there is any other issue?

    /edit: You'd also want to make sure that the spacer holds the wheel in the right place - the hub has a flange that holds the wheel concentrically to the hub, just the studs alone won't do that and the wheel will feel out of balance all the time.
