Anyone knows if these would fit ?

I found a killer price on the wheels / tyres combo for the track for my FD, but the owner cannot tell me anything else but this about them:
"They were fitted on my Evo 7. It says on the wheels PCD ZO9. they also say SL1471, and 8Jx17H2"

What I also found was that EVO7 supposedly (anyone knows this for a fact?) has +38 offset. These would probably fit without fender rolling, or not ? Would they clear the calipers ?

The wheels with slicks are here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S.: How could I instruct the seller to measure the offset ?
Is the center bore same for all japanese cars ?

And another question - would smaller ET cause smaller or wider track width ? If smaller, then spacers could solve the problem, no ?

Blah... this got moved to the section where no-one looks

Ok... according to http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html the wheels with ET35 would be pushed 10mm out at the back. That shouldnt really be a problem IMO with 235 tyres.

And I found on evolutionm.net that centerbore is 67.1mm

Any opinions?

I think I'll get them

17x8" +38 should fit just fine. Especially with a 235 tire.

But if its +35... its only 3mm difference... would that cause rubbing ?

It should fit fine, although you are pushing the limits on the offset. But it's not going to be an upgrade in handling. Make sure the bolt pattern is 5/114.3 (most likely is).

Yes, its 5x114.3 and CB 67.1mm. 8x17, ET35.

I will not improve on handling, but it is shod with slicks...so... I should gain a fair bit of grip

I may get same enkei's as you rynberg but in 17" size and black (ugh... will paint them white or silver, they're slightly used)
