Best tyre size for EVO 7 alloy wheels on airtrek turbo help please

[vr2turbo]

Hahaha, yeah Evo has always been one of my target cars coz it's simply the best bang for the buck in the automotive world! Still eyeing for E9 prices to drop more.

Never had the budget for the Evo that is why still stick to great grand father VR.....hhahahhaha

Hi 6ue5t, yes I am an evo guy had mine for over 9 years. It a very rare evo6 extreme/zerofighter probably the rarest evo 6 of them all.
It may be for sale but I am in the uk so I don't know how you would get it to KL? lol

Thanks for all the help guys, think I will get the 225/50/17 for the rims. Its an everyday car and want a comfortable ride.

Once again thanks for the help great forum.

Never really followed the Evos, except know it is labelled 1 to 9 then X....hhahahhaha
Never heard of zero fighter but know of the Evo 6.5 tommi Makinen special.....

Yeah Evo prices are still high. Even the old III & IV are still asking around 40-50k. TME if on sale are still around 80+k, and the IX are still like 120+k. Some VII though are now dropping below 70k. You should've upgrade to the VR4 with 6A13TT, last time got 1 on sale here but the thing is that car is not available in manual.

The Zero is UK special only, that's why most people in other parts of the world would not know of it.

yes zero fighter/extreme is a uk only but dont compare it to a makinnen its way more special than that.
This is how it differs from a makinnen:
NO AYC, proper RS rear diff
AP racing brakes(optional but are on my car)
titanium turbo wheel
lightweight interior/recaros
magnesium 18" alloys
faster steering rack lock to lock.
zero fighter kit
ralliart hard pipe kit

here is a picture my car looks virtually identical to this:

Actually the VR4 with 6A13TT is my dream car, however did not like it because of the 2.5L engine...

Thanks only evo i ever wanted, remember when i was 18 and there was an article about it in autocar. I am lucky i could have one so early in life, it steers like a pinball and goes pretty well too.
Thanks VR2

I'll buy a Subbie just for the noise it makes. Otherwise the 4g63t is easily tunable to extract more power

Boxer sound still the best......

I have owned lots of subarus over the years, turbo2000 impreza uk, turbo2000 ppp, impreza P1, legacy gtb and a legacy b4 rsk.

For me the p1 was the best, that was basically a uk version of the type r version5/6. If i had to have one to use every day it would be the B4 rsk it was simply brilliant and very comfortable and well equipped compared to impreza's.

However evo's and now the airtrek turbo are a cut above any subarus. the 4g63 engine is on another level compared to subaru engines, far more durable in standard form IMO. The only downside compared to subarus from my experience is that mitsubishi's are far more prone to rust than subarus.

One issue from one owner is the oiling. Since boxer are flat 4 engine the oiling is not as good as the in line engine as they are like lying down....
Better back to our tyre topic....

For Airtrek use 225/50R17, 45 series is too small......

 

[edwinlkj]

Sensei, Ecstatic not nice but can use or will damage rim? Price diff between 50 vs 45 is huge. Lol

 

[4gbanger]

45 series is ok if u can lower ur car.. 50 is just nice.. but as time passed by, 45 series will look small..

 

[stutzedward]

get 18" with 45 series..

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

or 235/45-17 fit for suv wheelarches nicely (using them on my foz)

235/45/17 still look small bro eventho we use wider rims.. even with a 9jj at rear with 30 offset the tyre still align from wheel arch..
