ADVAN GR-II 17*9.5 with offset 22 fits the caliper, but will probably contact with outside fender, so probably 17*8.5 should fit.

Anyone know if 17" Enkeis would clear the front brale calipers on an Evo X? Thinking of getting track wheels, I'd be happier with what would be a taller tire sidewall if you get tires with the same overall diameter.

Thanks

Are these offsets and fitments for the gsr, or mr, because if I remember correctly, the suspension is different if only by a little. I know it is weird, but I was considering using 275/40r18 (for traction and longevity, since I am planning on bf goodrich super sport a/s), and I noticed the 13mm clearance on the inside is approximately 2mm short of the 15mm necessary with stock offset. I am still unsure if when the wheels turn lock to lock they come closer to the suspension or not. Also, I wanted to check out how the wheel liners could be moved to make space for the wider tires, since it seems as if, with the right offset, the fender is not an issue. I am, as it says under my name, a noob, so feel free to ream me for dumbness.
