So whats a good offset for 18x9.5 wheels for a evo 8 in general?? Seems like a nightmare to buy wheels not understanding the offset and what will actually fit and work

 

Truth spoken! +22 can work but you cant be faint of heart when it comes to rear fender work

 

Some basics i follow are:
17x9 +30 to +35
18x9 +30 to +35
17x9.5 +32 to +35
18x9.5 +32 to +35

You can certainly float the offsets more aggressive but you have to be willing to do the rear fender work

 

So what offset works

 

Dont pin me down on the front spacer issue as that is a whole other can. But all those offsets work if you want to do the rear fender work

If you want, let me know what wheel size & offset you want to run as well as tire size & i can lay that out on the calculator & will give you a much better feel of the rear fender work needed

 

+38 is the most common offset you'll find. Those fit with fender rolling.
The offsets MinusPrevious posted are about the limit, if you can find them.

 

Yep, the process for me was finding an EvO,with the look i wanted, & then you find out what it takes to get them to work

Both Kaj have tracked our EvOs & that is another level that has to be taken into consideration as those +15 to +22 or even as high as +26 dont work too well in the rear. When tracking, no level of tire rub can be tolerated!!!

 

For me, it was speed bumps and spirited turns. I never tried low offsets at the track.

 

Well i want to be at probaly 18x9.5 wheel offset i have no idea, feel like its very hard to find good looking wheels for a blue evo lol

 

These wheels look great in the picture, but real te37 are on back order, what do you guys think about some of the te37 replicas? And which replica is better then the other, anything is probaly better then the Rotas I have now

 

Current setup on my car Rotas 17x9.5 not sure on offset

 

Wow, i like that for sure (garage is super sweet as well). What size tire & the offset is needed for sure. Any rub?

 

Blue is tough. Bronze and silver are about the only options. Not that those are horrible colors.

Rota actually makes decent wheels. I once researched the company and found they had drift and race cars using their stuff. I read up on their quality control, manufacturing process, etc. Rota is the only "cheap" wheel I'd use.
I had a set, on one of my previous cars, that I did HPDE with. Three years of track and street driving = never had a problem with 'em.

 

So rota only offers 18x9.5 +38

AVID1 av06 offers 18x9.5 +18 or +24 or +32 or +38

***not sure what the saga s plus is how diffrent from regular te37 and in bronze color****


Volk te37 saga splus offers 18x9.5 in +22 or +30 or +38 or +45

I dont wana spend $3500 on volks and hate them
What are your opinions on the avid1? What sizes would work

 

Wheel brand doesn't change which offsets fit, so same as listed above. Now that you have the offset figured out, you need to find a wheel with a spoke pattern to clear the front brakes and/or figure out which spacer will be added.
As mentioned in our PMs, there is a thread here dedicated to that. It's all been done before, so no need for trial and error, at this point.
