MAP's 2008 Evolution X GSR Build Thread aka Project GGX

Haha didn't know you suggested that, I told Dan we should call it that before the "contest" but I'll see if we can't get something over to you!



I am in your head stealing your thoughts!!:banana:

Confirmed that she's still rocking stock exhaust this weekend as I finally got it up on the lift, should have the first modification (air intake) with dyno results done this week!

In the meantime, I used to rock these wheels on my Evo 8, yay or nay? And yes I know it's dirty, we got several inches of snow on Saturday and as I outlined above this is my daily ;)

Looks nice, what size are they? Narrow wheels look funny on X's IMHO

[Murlo26]

The rims looks good, might look a bit better with a lil wider. I think 9.5" are the perfect size, that's what I wish I went with.

It's hard to tell until you drop the car, I'd assume you are going to drop it a bit at some point. Or you can rock the monster truck style like me :)

What is the stock wheel size on a X?

[Kracka]

What is the stock wheel size on a X?
18x8.5

[goodhart]

hmm ok, must be the offset that makes scheides' look so sunken in then.

These are 18 x 9.5" Work Emotion CR Kai :) The outer edge of the wheel lines up almost perfectly with the body line, although I do need some wider tires, they are 245's right now I need 255's or larger. Anyone know if I will have issues with rubbing in the rear?

[Murlo26]

Lomker should know, he runs 265's on his 9.5's. I don't think he rubs.

What offset are you running?

Go 265's if you get new tires, unless it rubs, fill that rim out! :)

[mlomker]

What is the offset? I run 18x9.5 +28 and it's perfect. Anything more aggressive and you'll want to roll the rears. I'm running Star Specs in 265 but I could run a 275 in an NT05/narrower tire.
