Im not sure what your definition of "a lot" is but it really wouldn't be that expensive. And is it worth the money and the hassle? Yes, thats what makes modding fun, putting in the work/planning on a mod and seeing the end result.

its 1" and your definition of benefit is probably not my definition.

i bought a reasonably wide wheel and now wonder what an 18x8 et 35 Enkie RP01(or any lightweight wheel) would feel like. 5lbs less rotating mass and unsprung weight than stock would probably feel really sick! probably a lot better than the rubbing i get from my flush stance.

To each his own man. Good luck with that. Hope it works out.

My 18x9 WedsSports & Hankooks are 2" wider then stock and 4lbs lighter (each corner) then the stock wheel & tire combo

Are the RA and Evo9 close enough to really use this as a comparison?

Thanks, Ive already been in contact with them about purchasing a set of wheels, not specifically if 9.5s will work or not though.

Ive pretty much decided that I'm going to do the 8.5s and run a wider tire.
