if you're not lowered at all, you won't need to roll your fenders...16" is an OEM wheel size...if you stretch a low profile tire onto a 16 without lowering, you'll have a wheelgap the size of the grand canyon...
I couldn't find a pic of a lancer, but this is what I mean...it just looks strange...the stretch you're proposing would even be more aggressive than this even...increasing the wheel gap

well that guy is user SteezerAlec323. He said they are 16x8 with a 205 tire. idk what width his sidewall is though. The wheels appear to be gunmetal XXR 002's. Everywhere Ive looked says that is a 0mm offset. I would definitely get coil overs before putting those on though. It will look silly without the drop to match it. Good luck with it! Post pics when you get it done.

that's what the Guy said in his profile. doesn't look like he's been very active lately though. He has a few other pictures in his profile and the wheels actually look fairly small... According to xxr's website 16x8 is as big as that model comes.

yeah trying to talk to him is impossible....but could I decrease the fender and tire space if I got a bigger rim?? (17s 0r 18s maybe ?)

Well its not just the wheel. Its the tire's sidewall as well. But yes a bigger wheel will naturally take up more space, but if you dont pair it with a proper size tire it could potentially be the same as a smaller wheel with a bigger sidewall. Tirerack.com has a lot of good information on tire sizing and what all the numbers mean. Then if you go into their store and look at tire sizes it will show you what the diameter of the tires your wanting will be so you can judge how closely it will be to your stock wheel size. But lancers usually sit a little higher in the front without some sort of suspension mods (lowering springs or coilovers) its going to be difficult to make both wheel wells look full.
I run Motegi Racing MR-125's 16x7 wheel with BFGoodrich G-Force KDW-2 tires sized at 225/45. Then my car is dropped on the Tein S.Tech springs so the wheel and tire combo nearly perfectly fills the wheel well. Now if I was being picky I would stance the wheels out another 10-15mm but then I would probably start getting a lot of rubbing, and would require at least a little fender rolling.
Start reading some stuff here and you'll get a better idea on what it takes to fill out your wheel wells. But if your set on the stretched tires look that throws another wrench into the equation. Ive never been one for the stretched look, so i honestly dont know much about how it affects it diameter of the tire. I prefer meaty fitment. But again, its not just about the size of the wheels your suspension has to complement the setup you'd like to go with or else it could turn out uneven and odd looking. IDK if you have any suspension work already or not but dont skimp out on that if you dont.

Im not sure if the ES has the same suspension as the RA. You can put the S.Techs on stock struts but I wouldnt advise it. The stock struts will blow very quickly. If your going with S.Techs at least get new KYB struts as well. Coilovers will give you many more options though... I have S.Techs now and im wishing I would have saved up a bit more for coilovers instead....
