Ok well I just got mine on. One problem . The backs did not sit flush all the way around the rotor. The center holes of the rim were rubbing on both sides of the axle hole .I had to use a small spacer to get them to mount flush. Ill take pics as soon as i get a shower.
TO be more specific the hub of the rim was not sitting flush on the hub of the axle there was some wobble. Only on the rear. Anyway it looked like I could sand some of lip out of the inside of the rim hub and get it to fit fush . I decided on the spacer instead.

are those the 18x8's? I was gonna get some and saw FLP had em in 19 but they said they don't have 18x9's that would fit......i thought i saw someone with em or people on here sayin that. Not sure......still trying to decide what to do first, Cam and Torque converter or rims? Can u put a 275 on a rim only 8" wide? And if u can, what would be the difference of puttin a 275 on a 8" vs. 9"?.......just looks?

2002anniversary- dont feel bad I bought the 245's also, mainly because they were cheaper & I wasnt planning on running them long. And I was crunched for time so I had to have them mounted & balnced ready to go. Other than that I would have ordered a set of tires somewhere else. Im about to get 285's for the rear though.

[QUOTE=99PewterZ28]I have 18x9's. They fit with no problems.
QUOTE]
Where did u get the 18x9's.........from wheelguys.com? i just decided to get evo's today but unless i pick some new rims up soon its not happening until i need new tires again. How much should i expect to pay for them and what finish should i get? The hypersilver i'm gonna say.......i see wheelguys has chrome too though, whats easier to take care of?

Do i need spacers or anything if i go with 18x9's? I'm gonna call them up tomorrow or monday probably. Can't wait, i hope i go through with this. Wonder how much just rims would save me off the wheel and tire package. Looks like i'm gonna have about $400 leftover after this.

For the rear you will need some kind of spacer. I used a washer on each lug. Worked out just fine. Im not sure what the tires are, some cheap brand. Nankang I think.....
