Im not sure the exact specs on the IC guys, I can try and find out for you though. He was running 255/35 tires like Boltz said.

 

Yeah it would be great, because it surely seems bigger than the 18" version which is said the only real deal that fits...

 

Hey just wanted t0 know if any one ran rpf1 18x10.5 on there evo and did they need spacers in the rear

 

the 10.5" RPF1 is a +15 offset...that would not work with a OEM body Evo.

The 10.5 +30 NTO3's have been done by Marshall (Greciev sp?) with 285 Hoosiers.

IMO... you;'ll need at least a 18x10.5 +38 offset to get the wheels to fit well. I personally think a 18x10.5 +44 would be about right with a set of Robi's trailing links.

 

No offense to those that attempt this larger width wheel. I personally dont believe the statements that a 10" or 10.5" width will truly fit a stock body EVO 8/9

Question. Those that run the 10" or larger, can your suspension be stroked like this w/out contact?

I say no

 

according to a previous post of yours... you said you were running a 17x9 +29 wheel.

Keeping the outboard face of the wheel at the same location...

increase wheel width by .5" (would be a 17x9.5)
Your offset on that wheel would need to be 6.3mm more offset.
so it would be 17x9.5 + 35.3

Increase the wheel width by another .5" (would be a 17x10)
Your offset on that wheel would need an addition 6.3mm more offset.
so it would be a 17x10 +41.7

My 18x10's are +38's My wheels stick out 3.7mm farther than yours do. But since I run -3.5 degrees of camber up front... and -1.9 degrees of camber in the rear... Mine probably clears just as well as yours do.

And when I go to 18x10.5's I'll have +44's There's a lot of room when you're good with rolling fenders and getting creative... and not paying John Mueller to do it for you.

 

/thread R/TErnie = fitment god

 

No problem Sir

Post your clearance pics & prove me wrong. Show us the clearance at the stock LCA's. My set-up is track proven w/ zero rub on stock LCA's

BTW, Nice jab at my wallet. Some services I (gladly) can afford to pay for

 

Not a jab at your wallet, I just publically don't like John.

You said oem body, not oem suspension. . It's not like I don't race my car on Hoosiers.

My Evo is drivetrain-less at the moment, trans, tc, and rear diff are going to tre.

 

^^^No problem. Ive only been at the EVO game for 3 years & learning more about pushing things to the limits

Looking fwd to seeing your completed project

Peace, Joe

 

For a picture request thread i would expect more than 2 pictures?????

 

Shows how few have done it.

I know that Marshall Gricie (sp?) is running 18x10.5"

 

bump for more
