Trying to fit 18X10 wheels
I want to put 18x10 XXR 521 wheels on an Evo 9. What modifications would I need to do other than rolling the fenders? Here's a couple pictures to show you what I'm going for...
And are these good wheels? What are your opinions? Thanks

You are gonna have to seriously roll the fender lips and have some serious fender pull done... which is never perfect.... or you can trade it in for a X and fit it easy...

the second and third pictures there are DecepticonsMR's car so you can ask him what offset and fender work he did.
afaik he didn't do much aside from rolling fenders. rears might be pulled a bit but (unless it's changed) the fronts aren't spaced out with the fender mod or anything

Im running the same setup. Need 25mm spacer up front to clear brakes. Currently I have zero fender work running 235. Had it pretty low, rubbing when turning fast, big dips or had people in the car. But keep in mind i have no fender work done. YET Oh and youll need coilovers as well. Goodluck!

Get the right offsets and you wont need a spacer to clear calipers. You need coilovers, you will most likely need a roll depending on the size tire you plan on running. I have 18x10 +19F +32R, I don't need spacers, to clear anything. I'm running 265/35 tires and a roll w/ some camber is all i need.
As far as your question on if they are good wheels....if you've seen my other posts you will know how I feel about XXR.
