18x10s on the red Evo, just to see how it fits

Hi guys,

we wanted to see the fitment of my Volk GT-C from the Supra, so we installed them the Evo8. These are 18x9 and 18x10, 245 and 285 respectively.

Just thought we can share some pictures

They look like they are a little too wide, just my opinion.


DAMN thats a big intercooler.... The way you guys cut out the bumper it looks like that car is smiling with a big tooth in the middle

Yeah, the rear is a bit wide, but the front is good.

We just put them on for the pictures I even have not checked the offsets

Everybody says the same thing about the intercooler: big open mouth on the car
The car is not lowered ( yet). The Flexes should be here this week. I need them badly, esp on the front.

I was wondering, from what i've heard...i thought it was incorrect to have different or staggered wheel sizes on an awd car...can someone go more into this? thanks

245/40 (98mm + 9in rim radius ) and 285/35 ( 99.75mm + 9 in rim radius) would be pretty darn close to radially equal, 1.75mm difference. High pressure in front and lower in the rear could possibly make that negligible. 1.75mm tire wear in the rear would practically make them identical. But YMMV and AWD cars are most always recommended by manufacturers to use the exact same size, brand, and model tire on all four corners.

Looks hot Maybe 18x10 will fit with the right offset and tire size.

A little overkill but for pictures sake it looks cool. There has to be rubbing in the rear with that wide of a tire

Yes, it is not good. But we did it just to see how it looks with 18x10s
