Yes you can but you will need low offset ET 17"(ET28 and lower) and wide wheels,which means you will need arch kit such as ABW

I ran 356mm k sports on my Evo 6 under 17" 8mr wheels,everyone said they wouldn't fit but they do !
I'm sure the 8mr wheel is a team dynamics pro race 1,so I'd look into them.

Thing about asking is there's two types of answers you will get :

Them that think they know.

Them that have actually done it and do know.

All I got when I asked on mlr was no they don't fit ! But I tried them anyway and posted my findings.the wheels on the Evo are wider though as Jura said 8.5" but if you go for the same style of wheel you should be fine.

We are running as track wheels 9JX17" ET28 with 255/40 17 and they clear 356mm K-Sport without the problems.

Jura do you have a close up pic of your brake/wheel setup please?

Reason is I've got the 356mm KSport on my one car with 18s and I really wanted to use them on my circuit car which has 17s. I wanted to switch the brakes over but stay running 17s on the circuit car.

Just wanna see what the clearance on the caliper should look like.

You will need low offset 17" something like Team Dynamics Pro Race 9JX17" ET23

Standard 17" or higher offset 17" will not clear brakes,you will need to run 18" which will clear 356mm 8pots
