For sure the 9" wheel will provide a bit more clearance & likely will fit w/stock rear fenders

You will be taking a bit of a chance w/the 9.5" wheel on stock fenders.

Suggestion: Roll the rear fenders!!!

With this spec you are right on the edge of needing a rear fender pull & maybe even the bumper bolt relocate. The tire spec is very aggressive & very large in circumference

If youre going to run this spec, expect to pull the fender but if you dont have to that is a plus

See this photo here & test fit the wheel & tire. Proper fitment is zero contact through the full suspension stroke

Hey guys will 18x10.5 +15 on a 255/35 tire fit? I will have all corners rolled, the back pulled and I believe i will need a spacer but I'm not sure what size. The rims are zedd SL5 and I'm on tien springs.

Read through this thread on guys who run the wide wheel. Nobody on a stock body EVO can run a +15 correctly

Ray's gram lights

Looking into purchasing used gram lights t57rc 17" staggered
8" pair and 9" pair both have +38 offset, I have a new set of 4 tires in size 235 40 17 hankooks.
How would this fit, the evo already has pulled and rolled rears and I believe fronts are rolled too. Would I need spacers to make it work?

A lot of guys run staggered offsets but few run staggered wheel widths. Would advise against that The diffs do not like irregular circumferences as Ive read (not to mention 2 different foot prints)

Preferably keep all wheels / tires the same spec (tire rotation is important & penny wise). If you have to run a front spacer, then OK

Regarding the +38 & tire size. All will fit well w/much room to spare

Will I need spacers to clear 18x9.5 rota grid +35? I don't want to have to run spacers or modify the fenders much. I wouldn't mind rolling them some.

One good thing about ROTA's is their sizes are EVO friendly, however, please call the Wheel Dude & ask him about the front fitment on the +35 (510) 252-1111

Based on your notes, you should run a 255/35 or even better 255/40 which should fit w/just a roll but will be a tad tougher that the 35 series

Rota Torque fitment

Does anyone know if Rota torque 17x9 +30 would clear the brembos? Looking to get rims without having to get spacers or rolling fenders.

I have 18x9 +30 G-Force and they fit fine. I also have 10mm spacers to clear my front tires from rubbing on my springs. 265/35/18 is what I have. I hope this helps

Will the XXR 527 18X8.75 +35 clear the front brembos? Will i have to roll the rear fenders? What is the biggest tire dimension i can run with out rolling the fenders if at all possible!

Thanks in advance!

Ran your no.s using a very modest 255/35 & looks OK for no rear fender mods. A bit tougher fit but may work & will look so much better IMO is the 255/40 (possible bumper bolt interference)

Note sure about front caliper fitment

Note: Opinion based on stock rear camber

What is, in your opinion, the best offset for an 18x9 rim?
By "best" I mean the least fender work in the back and the least spacer in the front.
No flush or extreme offset.

Edit: With 255/40/18's


BTW, thanks for all of your input on this thread, you help a lot of people!
