For example, you can 17x8 RPF1s or 17x9 RPF1s. I see no difference in concavity or are you talking about in general if you want a concave style wheel you need wide wheels, I'd agree with that. But for a "daily" I can't see why you'd need a 17x9 unless you're all about aesthetics. I'm just trying to justify a 17x8 because you save money and weight :P

Interested in this discussion for sure. I've definitely lost a bit of feel of nimbleness when going wider on an Evo. I'm not sure I'd say that I lost a lot of "fun" though. My plan when I wear out the Primacys is to go with a set of probably Bridgestone S-04 in 205/45 on the stock wheels and stay on the stock suspension for a while. If I have the car a long time I see myself lowering an inch, 17x9 57xtreme with 245/45 (because everyone loves concavity!) to better go with a SC. It'll be interesting to see how the feel changes.

17x9 245 with SC? Sure. Possibly i'd do that myself if went for FI, except maybe /40 instead of /45 for speedo to read the same. But not at stock NA power for DD.

I get that some people's definition of fun is having tons of grip but I don't think it's possible to say getting sideways has never put a smile on your face...
So from what I've read so far it looks like 18x8.5 wheels won't make me lose the sideways factor & will also give me more mechanical grip which sounds great to me. I'm thinking of going with some matte black works emotion cr kai's While I have all of your attention- will 18x8.5 on 1" lowering springs rub? What offset would I need? (+47 +38 +30)? Seems that those are my only offset choices for that wheel. |

Edit: Might need to dial in a bit of negative camber to tuck the top but definitely doable. |

![]() By the way I have Flat Black Emotion Kai's in 18x9.5 +38 with 255/35 PSS on my BRZ (excellent wheel style choice). I also put 300HP to the wheels with FI to ensure rear wheel slip! Makes a huge difference. |
