I thought Evo 5/6 wheels fitted without issues. How low is the car ??

The 5/6 wheels fit fine but fitting the 225 tyre is your issue. The 4 will only take 215 at most without rolling the arches

Depends on the offset of the wheels. Ive got 235's and they only rub a tiny bit when hammering it. 225's would clear fine. Unless its lowered.

Can't argue with that, but it is a rally car:whistling:

and my downpipe scrapes the ground on the lanes around here anyway so if i lowered it i'd have to slow down, rather leave it as a tractor :ninja:

offset???? i dun know what it is. to be honest, when i got the wheels, the seller said its original OZ wheels from evo 5.
when i saw it, the seller used in evo 8, the tyres were 235.

what should i do?

i changed the tyres to 225/45/17. evn though i changed, i think its low. i dun think it is good idea to ask people to sit in the rear sit

Can you post up a pic of the wheels cos sounds to me as though you might not have a set of Evo v wheels but wheels off another car cos Evo v wheels would have come with 225 tyres not 235
