GET WITH RICHIE FIRST!!!!
I have these in the 18" Bronze and have some minor rubbing problems. I shaved my wheel wells and still slightly rub when running around corners fast or have a fully loaded car. This is with Ground Control Coilovers at the highest setting too.
Please Check Fitment Before Buying!!!!!
Nice choice of wheel otherwise!

Rubbing doesn't depend on the size of the rim. It depends on the width and the offset.
Diameter of rim and tire is usually the same. With a bigger rim you just end up getting a smaller sidewall.

I'm calling right now. I don't think they will fit well. Even if you use a 205 sized tire.
THEY DON'T MAKE THAT WHEEL IN OUR BOLTPATTERN. Only comes in 4x100 and in 17" diameter only.
BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE. I just spoke to DAZZ.
Plus these are not RAcing Harts so you might be getting excited over nothing. They are just like all the rest to me. All the same. They are made in different places. NOT Japan though. Taiwan, Korea, etc.....

YELLOW PR5 has the original CP8 which looks different than what you want. That is the wheel you'd have to look into but it won't fit because the offset is too low. A +40 on a 17,7.
If YPR5 shaved about 4mm off his wheel pads he would achieve an offset that would work considering he shaved his fenders. That should be doable. Cost around $150.00 to $200.00 total at a good machine shop. This will void your warranty.

according to Dazz's site they are real RH evolutions. http://dazzmotorsports.com/wheels_rhe.asp Unless what I read on their site is incorrect they are as real as Yellow PR5s wheels. What did you mean by "Plus these are not RAcing Harts" Rishie?

Your info is incorrect. Sorry. RH evolution is not a racing hart wheel. It is not produced by Hart Wheels of Japan. Hence the abbreviation, " RH." If they called them Racing Harts it would be false advertising and one hell of a lawsuit.
The CP8 RRRRR, is the only one that is SSF similar to the SSR line of wheels. SSF= semi solid forging.
Nowhere will DAZZ claim that RH's are RACING HARTS. They would be in serious jeopardy.
Hope this info. helps educate people as it's a very common misconception. Probably why they sell so many.
Thanks, Rishie

I'll have Sean PM or e-mail you. Especially since he's sponsored by the company themselves.
Thanks, rishie
Just found out. They are a +42 so you can run a 205/40/17. Contact myself or Sean/wheelguuru to get you pricing. You'll love them. I put Sean's 19's on the MP5 and we both **** bricks they looked so good.
I wanted to take a second look and he already took them off out of spite. That damn guy. hehe. Check it out.
