Looking for opinions. Will these fit and how do you think they'd look on a black coupe?

Yes that should fit just fine, overall wheel+tire height is very close to stock.

Pretty sure Evos have a 67mm center bore. We need 64.1 otherwise it will rest on your studs instead of the wheel hub - bad idea as the bolts could shear.

You could just get a 67 to 64.1 adapter though and then you're golden.

I saw another member here had the Evo XIII on their Civic. These wheels are from a 2003 Evo. Do you think the center bore may have changed on later models when the went to 18s? If not when installing do you think a shop would know if I need an adapter?? Thank you.

They did and still do have 67.1mm center bores. Just grab some adapters from Amazon. Some tire places may have them but probably not all - a more custom shop may. Enkei prints center bores on the back of the rims so you could always ask the seller to look (it'll say 67.1 CB).

The other member on here either has adapters or foolishly has the rims sitting on the wheel studs and not hubs.

Thank you! I never would have thought of looking at that!

No problem, one more thing though, the 2003 (and maybe newer) Evo's used their own lug nut type. Luckily they are designed for the same thread size as the Civic (M12 x 1.5) but you'll need the proper lug nuts for them. See if the sller has some to give you or sell you.

I can't thank you enough! So appreciated! How do you think they'll look on a black coupe lowered 1 inch? If the seller doesn't have the lug nuts they should be easy to find, right? I'm a little paranoid about making the jump. I've always liked the more simple early 2000s look.

No problem dude. They'll look great for sure. Lug nuts are easy, if the seller doesn't have any to spare then I'd recommend going to a Mitsubishi dealer and asking to see the lug nuts for the wheels and either buying them from them or taking a picture and looking them up online. - Just don't choose after market ones that pop up all over the place as they may not work.

That's a great question, one I'm not sure about though unfortunately. If they don't fit from stock I'm sure you can find a way to make them fit or go after market they are all just thin plastic after all. I'd say pull and trigger and do it it's a great day either way. :)

I ended up getting them for $425. Center caps that match have been impossible to find. I ended up ordering center cap stickers that will cover the Mitsubishi logo. One more question. I am going to get different tires. Do you think I should stick with 235/45/17? Thank you again for all your help!

235/45/17 will keep your speedometer accurate. I'd stick with that or use a tire size calculator to stay as close to the overall circumference as possible. (No more than 3 percent over or under.)
