  1. hi all
    After coming back from the ring last month and some further research it looks likes some are running evo 8 wheels.
    Anyone on hear had any real world experience ?
    I know the offset is38 and I'm aware we run 60 something standard..

  4. I have been wondering about this. Seen some nice sets of Speedline Corse from the rally boys. I thought some Evos had offset in the 40s?

    38 is tight with no camber though
     
  6. Or you can mill out of the rim hub

  7. Whats the max offset for a MK3 with standard suspension. Is something in the et50 range acceptable?
     
  8. So is a case of adding spacers to give nearer the 60 plus offsetyou need ?
     
  9. Ok the issue you have with evo 8 wheels is you need a very specific wheel stud that's the correct thread and length as you will need to use OEM eco wheel bolts that have a flat seat as well as a sleeve that sits inside the wheels lug holes. I had a set and tried a few custom nuts due to my studs being a different thread. It is possible but bit of a ball ache for wheels that are t actually that fantastic

    No, spacers don't work that way. They effectively lower the offset
     
  11. I've just test fitted a set of the pz prodrive oz wheels from the RX8 and the clearance to the caliper is tight at one point (approx 2-3mm). No tyres on the wheels so need to get some and check clearances to the arch next.
     
  12. Reading with interest
    I looked at the evo Impreza wheels as possible wheel combo
     
  13. I am driving ultraleggera ET35, 8J with bilstein B14 and have no problem
     
  14. These will be perfectly fine on a Megane

  15. Ps impreza wheels I believe have a very small center bore so unless you get them machined out won't fit Megane
     
  16. Yeah I looked into Impreza wheels and the centre bore is smaller than a Megane so would need machining. I have wondered what the RX-8 wheels would look like on a Megane. Never seen them fitted.
