Hey guys, I am thinking about getting on 08 Lancer GTS but I want to get some rims on it. I've seen a couple of nice 18's that will look nice but I think some 19's will just fill up the wheel wall space right up. Does any one else in here have aftermarket rims?

 

Please dont do it.The GTS is heavy already with brembo brakes andbody kit w/ spoiler
My ES feels so heavy when accelerating but I found technic to drive it.

pls see my post....

 

The rim size is not what fills the gap. It will simply just have lower profile tires and handle like *****.

Lowering the car will reduce the wheel gap. Not rim size.

 

i have 19s and its actually 19x8.5, love the look from behind. fits the well perfectly, i think if u get 18 and slam it, you actually have more caps then 19s slam. not thatll ill ever slam it.

 

The rim size does not effect wheel gap

 

Yes it makes a difference the bigger the rims the heavier the car will be. even if low profile

Inracing or drifting they used bigger rims because The Car is Empty inside no seats no flooring etc etc but regular lancer forget it

 

Im not arguing that... drift rims are not heavy. They might be big but they are made from magnesium and other things. Super light. That does not apply here.

Rim size does not make a difference in wheel gap, you simply get lower profile tires with the same overall diamiter.

 

Are you serious !! you can fit 19 x 8.5 ?!?.. im looking to go 18x8.5, can i do that??..please advise

 

I wouldn't do it.....

 

why not sebba ??
