The 17x8.5 +35s will work without rolling fenders.

Thank you!!
you should be able to find them listed in this thread. they're one of the most common wheels people use. Whats the ET? IIRC they should work. possible some use a 3mm spacer. but look in this thread in earlier posts. or use the search bar.

can anyone point me to a thread that lists wheels from other OEMs that are known to fit?

would make winter wheel shopping much easier if i could pick up a set of cheap junkyard/craigslist wheels from an RSX or Accord or something, or perhaps some Rotas from a Subaru owner.

^^^Im not aware of any such list, not saying there isnt one

Probably would be tough to find another OEM wheel w/an offset & spoke design that will clear the front brakes. Most guys run spacers to correct. (personally not a big supporter of spacers although they work well if mounted correctly)

Thanks!
I know there is a RPF1 in the smaller width size that fits, just dont know for sure that its the one youre noting

Check this thread here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ur-enkeis.html

Personally, those wheels look a bit wimpy on the EVO. Your best looking RPF1's are in the 17x9 & 17 x 9.5 widths but you have to run spacers

Yeah I've had zero luck in my googling lol. Finding some OEM Enkeis locally is proving difficult. Tons of cheap 5x114.3 17x7s in my area tho, mostly from Hondas.

If youre looking for help, Give the full spec of the wheel as well as a pic

Why would you consider RX7 wheels over the EVO stockers

they're a 16" wheel, more drag radial options than just the 245/45/17 hoosier on the stockers

I would like to buy some XXR 527 in 18x8.75 for an evo8 lowered on swift spec-r. Do I have to roll any fenders?

What offset do they come in?

So i currently have on my car work cr kai 18x9.5 with Nitto 555's 265/35/18. I dont have my camber setting in front of me but I've gotten the rear fenders rolled and there is still rubbing in the rear over big bumps. I have a little bit of a raked stance currently but wanted to drop the rear more but this is holding me back. I've looked into this setup and I thought I read that someone has cleared this setup.

Here are some pictures that can kind of show how much the rear fenders are rolled. Does anybody think they can get rolled out more? Also Ive asked some people who roll/pull fenders if i should pull them, they all say it requires serious body work due to 95% of the time they buckle badly.






please help! thanks everyone
