Problem for upgrading the evo 4 to evo 5 wheels

Hi, i have a big problem.
i got a full set of breboo brake. so i bought a set of evo 5 OZ wheels, i fitted a set of 225/45/17 tyres, however only the rear tyres touch the side of the arch.

plx i need some advise. i dun wanna change the whole body

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.

[GG205rob]

Not yet. They wont rub at all when i get round to rolling them.

oh yeah yours looked like a tractor on the stand at rally day lmao






needs lowering gooner lol

 

[GG205rob]

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:

Tarmac spec all the way for me

 

[alan_choi2000]

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

Its just an excuse really. But the roads around here are sh!t

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
