Will EvoVIII rims fit on a sotck body fd?

Ok before I get flammed to hell here, I searched my *** off for any pictures or references... and couldnt find any. Maybe my searching skills need a re-tune.

Anyway, I was wondering if EvoVIII will fit a stock body fd?
Thanks,
Rob

IIRC, they are around a +30 for offset. That's a little aggressive for what a 8" rim?

You could probably make it work, but there are better wheels out there.

I agree, 30 is too low.

Would the hubs even fit?

Evo VIII wheels are +38. Not +30. I'm putting some on my Maxima. They should fit fine on your FD. Just pick the right tire sizes.

You would have to go way past square with tire fitment and have a retarded bulging tire before you have any problems with 8j+38 or even +30. As long as the hub bore works out you could run that size no problem, but 8" is pretty narrow, anything wider than 245's will really make the sidewall balloon out.

The sit a few mm in from the fender. It does not run on my fd

I have tein HA coil overs
1.25 camber front and rear
25 inch ride height, measured from top of fender
I run 255/45/17, but if i were to do it again, i would go 245.

I ran these wheels because i needed something cheap and strong that would fit over the 99spec brakes.

By the way the fd and evo have the same size wheel bore.
