AMS proves 17" wheels fit the Brembos!!

[GenX]

I was in the shop yesterday working on the Coupe and Dan came in to give me a hand.

Dan test fit several 18" wheels which had plenty of clearance but the big question was... will a 17" wheel clear the caliper???

Our 17" test wheel was an SSR Type C wheel that had been used on an Evo 8 previously.

This wheel just barely clears the caliper by probably 1/8" on the ID of the barrel. The tightest spot was at the top of the caliper.

Rich took some pictures and after he edits and tags them, we will get them posted up.

I am still planning on getting a wheel fitment diagram filled out to help everyone with wheel selection.

17's ruin the look imo.

hmmm any pics of the car off the lift? 17's look really small

The reason for testing fitment was to let people know there are options. Weather it be for track wheels, drag wheels or winter wheels with snow tires...... It is just information.

also don't the 19's weight alot more?

Sorry it took a while but I finally got a chance to check fitment of stock Evo 9 wheels.

Here are the results.

hmm looks pretty decent
Evo 9 wheels are gonna be popular among genesis owners for auto-x wheels
nice

I assume they use a 4.5 x 5 lug pattern?

Are the stock offsets known, and how aggressive/big can we be on the rears?

I thought I saw 245 was the stock rear width...can 275+ tires fit with proper rim width/offset?

I do have wheel fitment charts filled out for front and rear but they are at work.
