Alright.... Now I have Volk CE28N's on my FD. Their 18' all around and 9 1/2 deep, gun metal with a polished lip, all around. These wheels came off of an EVO and I just bought them because I was in need of wheels. I was planning on keeping the rear wheels and getting smaller wheels for the front. I think that it might be cheeper if I just buy a whole new set of wheels. I wanted to know if anyone has advice on what wheels I should use and some specs. I would really appreciate it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Yeah they fit the front but when i turn the wheel on a turn or drift they cut up the plastic. On top of that it feels like my car is all over the road.

Never did the calculations

The reason your car feels like it is all over the road is because you have changed your scrub radius. If you imagine a line that runs through the steering axis, you need to keep the distance between where this line touches the ground and the centreline of the tyre the same as the old tyres.

what size tires are on it? and figuring out the offset would be helpful.
