You'll need to roll your rear fenders and possibly run some camber with that set-up.

Everybody seems to be running 18x9.5, but how about 17x8.25 +25 on 245/40r17 on XXR 527 or 530, any rubbing on fenders or shocks/struts with just lowering springs? If thats aggressive at all!

EVO X wheel size

i got a 2012 octane blue evo gsr looking to fill out the wheel wells with some black gloss or powder coated rims. Stock are 245/40 R18. So i am thinking 19"s will fill it out nicely? I dont want to have to fender roll this vehicle is completely stock right now. Looking for any advice on what would give me that look where the car isnt so top heavy. If i can go wider without any mods that would be cool too. Also i would like the offset to not surpass the fender edge and shoot rocks at the side of the car. Lots of questions but this is my first project car. help!

just throwing this out there... I currently run a set of Gram lights and the OEM Enkie's as track tires only... I believe the spec on them 17x8's on those I run 245/40 on them no issues I also have a nice set of Ohlin's for coil overs... and i run -2.5 front and -1 rear...

can any one reading this say if this would fit without rolling or vendor work.....

TRMotorsport C3
Offset: 30mm Backspacing: 6.22"
Weight: 20.6lbs.
going to put R888 255/40 on those... would hate to buy and find out not going to fit...

Thanks

Enkei RPF1 fitment

I bought a set of Enkei RPF1s and the backspace was WAY off... I ordered them from TireRack.com. They are 17-9 with 35mm offset. When I got them they hit the caliper and were about 1 1/2 away from the hub. Is this normal? Do I need spacers???

These are the only two sizes that fit off the menu: 17X9 ET22 is 9mm into the front of the caliper. It needs piloted spacer and longer studs to work which most people opt out of. The 17X9.5 ET18 clears the calipers, but will be real close to the fender if the car is dropped. This is the fit that most run with a little camber adjustment and/or fender roll. What you have is the G35/350Z fitment that which work.

I dont run RPF1's but I did enough research years ago

Most of the flat face RPF1s need spacers on the EVO

There are a lot of threads on RPF1s. There are more than enough guys here that can help

Search them out!!!

all 17x9 rpf1 have spacers. from all my research the +35 is the worst offset, needs 20 mm spacer up front and a small in rear (maybe tire dependent)
+22 someone said a 5mm spacer up front only, but was close.

17x9.5 et18 clears front but is close to fender, the rear sticks out pass fender (no spacer setup)

17x9.5 et38 needs 20mm spacer (essentially being a et18) and fits perfectly in rear.

of course fender work is needed, mainly tire dependent.
