Hi all,

Just got my car back from being lowered , have bought some rota grid matt black rims 18x8.5's and am hoping that they will fit... has anyone fitted these rims to a standard lancer

Here's a pic of my car:

Opinions would be greatly appreciated

Looking at that pic, I think the matt black rims will look killer. What offset are the rims?

[mandy_jane]

38 I believe, I hope they fit or I'll be rolling the guards!!!

Always go Rims first then lower. That way your all good

How low did u get your car lowered?

I have 18" x7.5" on mine. 225/40/18 rubber. And will be lowering 30mm

hey I had a set of rims with that size 18x8.5 with +35 offset. needed to roll the guard at the rear cause it was scrubbing a bit when you hit bumps and dips on the road. also fitted a rota g-grid 18x9 with + 30 offset. have a look at my garage to see pics. or you can check out my face book page and it has an album called all about cars. Pm me if you can't see it.

38? hmmm then ure def gonna get some rubbin i m afraid....

8.5 with a 35+ offset I think you will need to roll your guards to stop the tyres rubbing

[mandy_jane]

I got it lowered at pedders using there springs and bump stops, was meant to be 30mm lower...

I think the offset was 38mm... the guy at rota told me that they fit the ralliart so "should" be ok for mine, coulld have got 17x7.5 but wanted 18's.

I can get it rolled at danics for $80 a guard so i have an option there anyways, i'll definatley check out the pics:)

U will need them rolled. 7.5" and u would be fine. 8.5" = rolled guards

[mandy_jane]

Fun and games... looks like im rolling the guards then:)

What tyre size will you be running? if you stretch tyres a bit then you might not need them rolled

[mandy_jane]

225x40's

[rayray]

You might not need to roll your guards if its just you in the car...

18x8.5 +38 will = fronts will poke out about 1/4" and rears will be flushed
Inner Clearance: 11mm LESS Outer Face Position: 27mm MORE
Tires:
225/45 18 if lower to prevent rubbing and cutting of the wheel on the fender
235/40 18 and 245/40 18 will rub a little on the fenders with my calculation on bumps, dips, and pot holes and maybe driveways too
***This fitment is AGGRESSIVE so roll the fenders***

Awesome;) hope I dont but if I do then so be it, I want the rims there already on their way so I kinda have no choice now;) I think they will look nice;)
