You're maturity is astounding. I think you take this forum far to serious. I'll leave replies in the format I see fit. Now can we concentrate on the purpose of this thread or are you not done being an ***?

EEEeeaassyyy guys....

Anyway, I test fit the wheels this past Saturday...

These defenitely won't fit without atleast a 15 mm spacer, I wasn't able to see exactly what size spacer because we had none available to test with, but I'm pretty sure its going to have to be minimum 15mm... I know this probably isn't any new news to you guys.. sorry about that, I really apologize... I'm going to try and get my hands on some spacers this week and find out..

did you try out the rear also? i was looking into getting 18x9.5 +38 for the rear and was told it will hit the lower control arm. maybe thats just tire size dependent though.

wow, a 15mm spacer means you really should replace the wheel studs at that point, otherwise your lugnuts won't really be holding on to very much. At least on my car there wouldn't be a lot left.

Actually we do offers spacers that have studs built into them so you don't have to worry about replacing the stock studs.

I haven't tried fitting the rears yet. They should clear no problem though. I'm just waiting for the spacers I described above to come back in stock, then I can start getting measurements, etc. I'll try it on our shop car which already has a 15mm spacer on it. I will let you guys know.

I have 9.5's with 40mm offset and 12mm spacers, but I also have Ohlins on the car. Did you test fit these on a car with the stock struts? I can't imagine them fitting on a car with stock suspension even with 15mm spacers. The spring perch is HUUUUGE compared to most coil overs. Just an FYI.

I know this is a few days old, but did you ever get new pics with the spacer Ed? I am wondering how this setup fits.

evoe

will 18x8.5 fit w/o spacers, with the right offset obviously.... how bout some 19x8 or 19x8.5's? Oh and this is all lowered with the Works ride springs .9 all around.

thanks bro.

8.5's fit fine regardless of diameter. (18" or 19")

Was the problem not clearing the brembos or clearance from the inside strut?

Not sure on that wheel, but on my wheels the brake clearance isn't an issue....at all. I think with most wheels with that width the problem will be inside tire to strut clearance.

i just did this today with some 5zigens. 9.5x18" +35 with 275/35/18 ra-1's.
i had never tried them on stock suspension before but i just got a new mr and was curious if they
would clear. with the camber at outer most position(less camber) there was plenty of room on the bilsteins and with the camber bolt flopped to the inner position it still clears but it's tight for sure. no way to get much more than +35 under there without spacers(i'm talking strut clearance only)
obviously less tire would help with clearance also.

When I tried the wheels on my car, it was with Tein coilovers. Yeah, stock perches would probably not work too good with the wheels.

I'm gonna try these wheels on with a 10mm spacer that we have on our shop evo which has HKS coilovers, I will let everyone if it fits tomorrow.

We are getting a huge shipment of spacers on the 11th, so I will be able to offer these wheels with the correct spacer package for those who are interested.

Ok... I have the answer now.

20MM Spacer is what everyone is going to need.

The steering wheel wasn't perfectly straight when I took these pictures but just use your imagination. This will in turn make the wheel a +18 offset. 18x9.5 +18 is what this turns out to be. Too bad enkei doesn't offer a high pad wheel.

Just for reference we are using enkei nt03+m 18x9.5 +17 in the fronts for our shop evo, (with a 10mm spacer). The wheel is physically a 18x9.5 +27, but even we needed a 10mm spacer to clear.

We are getting in a big shipment of spacers this coming week, I will be offering spacers with these wheels to clear brakes for those who want a no hassle installation. PM me for more details if you're interested.











Let me know if you guys have any questions. Thanks!
