Default Evo gets a dose of Nissan.

Picked these wheels up off of craigslist for $200 after looking for a set of tires. Ended up with wheels and tires. It looks pretty clean.

They will get painted black shortly. I just needed to get off of my old tires asap as they were really bad!

Figured for $200, might as well give em a go. Can always use em as track or winter wheels or something. The tabs on the lip broke off and I mainly just use this car as my DD. Im kind of getting out of the car scene and into drag bikes pretty hard core now. I just picked up an 09 busa thats going to take up most of my money for now!

Yeah, I knew evo wheels were about a 35mm offset and were 5x114.3. The reason I found out they fit is I was searching for tires and this ad popped up so I clicked on it and the guy had all the specs of the wheels up. They are also 5x114.3 and the offset on the fronts are like 30mm and the rears are 33mm. Just checked to see if they cleared the brembos and called it a day!

Is it ok to have different sized wheels on an evo?

Yeah, its ok in this case because the circumference of the wheels are the same from the front to the back. Its just not a good idea to use different size rims like a 17" in the front and 18" in the back because the rotation speed would be different and would strain the drivetrain.
