Wait so you got the Varis kit? or are you getting the HRS/Voltex set up ???
Varis kit you can run 18x9.5 +15 in the front and 18x9.5 +25ish if you want to roll the rear stockers .

Just for the record, in case any of you failed to notice, our beloved Sun/Cyber Evo is not just running HRS front fenders.
See that metal plate riveted onto the side skirt? It's pulling the bottom of the fender further out. Then the side skirt itself is even mounted further out by the bracket you can see inside the fender. I'm willing to bet these methods alone are worth about 20-30mm all by themselves.
The only edge that lines up original is with the hood and headlight, the former of which could have also had a little custom work. Not that this should stop you and I'm not saying you would necessarily need to do what they did, but I just wanted to point that out before someone goes thinking whatever spec wheels/tires they are running will fit just because they are using HRS wide front fenders.
S2K Stephen, your car and wide body project are awesome. I hope you're fully committed to hacking your sheetmetal up though, because that's the only way these overfenders actually do anything, unless you run huge ride height.

That isn't a very good example for several reasons.
- While it was stated that he didn't cut his fenders, we have no idea whether or not it rubs at full suspension compression.
- There are no specs mentioned for the wheels except the completely ignoramus following statements:
"Rays engineering TE37 forged light weight wheels
255/40/17 (Wide as fk)"
and...
"I am not sure about the offset but the wheel size is 255/40/17"
and looking at a closeup of one of these pics, the tire’s shoulder does not appear to be stretched very much, if at all. So if the “wheel” (TIRE) specs are accurate, and they are indeed running 255/40/17, guess what? That’s a size you could run on a completely stock Evo with stock wheels,, slammed or not! Judging by the shoulder, that rim doesn’t appear to be any wider than 9” or 9.5” at the most. It’s not even that close to the lip of the over fender, and it doesn’t appear to have all that much negative camber or drop. Especially not a lot of drop. At the most, it seems like it’s a somewhat low offset.
In other words…
That car probably doesn’t really need over fenders with that wheel/tire combo and stance, and is not taking advantage of it, nor are they running anything significant different than stock size tires, and if they were, they would most likely need to cut the metal fender in order to take full advantage of the extra dimensions it can accommodate.
So that car and whether they cut their rear fenders or not doesn’t hold that much significance in relation the the wheels S2K Stephen is considering.
