Just picked up a 00 ES and was wondering who is running something comparable and what fender mods have you done?
I have the same sizing on the wheels but Im on a 255/40/17 Hankook RS3. Rear quarters are buckled and the front rub on hard corners but the front fenders are virgins. Also, with the 255 I had to run an 8mm spacer in the rear to keep the tires from hitting the coilovers. Im also on maxxed out Tein SS-P.

My old set-up were 17x9 +25 with a 225/45/17 Continental Contipro Contact and I had to run -3 degrees of camber up front. Which is actually what my current daily is running. Rolled rear fenders with a slight pull and the front was finger pulled slightly.
This is the blue car before. Rolled rear fenders. Untouched fronts. maxxed out Tein SS-P on the 225/45/17 Continentals.

Same car with the 17x9 +25 on Bridgestone Potenze RE070 in 225/45/17 but it fit more like a 235/45

And now my daily with the same wheels but its on ISC coilovers with two collars removed up front, and low enough to tuck the tire in the rear. 225/45/17 Ironman iMove up front and some takeoff Bridgestone RE90 in the rear. Waiting on a few more front end parts to get the alignment dialed in but -3 degrees up front and a little over -3 degrees in the rear. Eyeball alignment after replacing the rear toe arms but tires dont seem to be getting choppy.

THAT IS SEXY! what size tire in that setup? How well did it hold under boost?
225/45/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE070. Well, I had these tires at around 26psi so IDK if I can say it "holds boost" because obviously different boost levels will have you at a different torque/power level. But I spun them at 55mph in 3rd gear. Which is why I made the decision to go with the 255's. Even then, at low boost 18/19 psi I spin through second and it wants to break loose in third once it hits full boost.
Pulled the trigger on the Grids and some Hankook RS-3 version 2 tires. Thanks for all the help and information!
What color blue is that it is fantastic wow just wow !
The blue is Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution "Octane Blue" if I am not mistaken.
Octane blue is from the 2008 and up lancers and Evo. My blue is Electric blue pearl evo8/9 color
Love your Evo!
Thanks man
4g63, im planning on running 17x9 +22 on 255/40 17s
are your fenders rolled??? I plan on rolling and probably pulling my fenders do you think I'll end up rubbing in the rear ?
also you said your rear fenders are buckled what do ya mean?
Bringing this back from the dead. But I'm looking at getting 17x9 +35 wrapped in 225/45 tires.
I'll be running coilovers and rolled fender. Is this set up "track friendly" I would like to go throw the car around just to get an idea of what it can do. Unfortunately a lot of the pics are dead, so I can't tell if the person was running flares or pulled fenders. Ideally I'd like a set up where I don't have to worry about rubbing, and if possible I'd rather run a 235
You would want to roll the fenders with that setup for sure.
Love those rims!
