Gram lights 57F 18x8.5 +45 clear both the brakes and struts? Tires are 245/40/18...I'm eyeballing some right now and just want to make sure it fits before getting them

That offset will look terrible. The same setup, but +30ish would look much better.

Stop The offset is way too deep. Our stock offset is +38. +45 would likely contact the lower control arm. Spacers would be needed

Recommend going through a thread like this & see what the average guy is running. Come back w/what you like & will give you an opinion

Wedssport SA10r

Hey guys, I'm looking at the Wedssport SA10r for my Evo X, 18 x 9.5 +38. Will they clear the Brembo's? If not, I have 12mm spacers, would they be enough? I was hoping to get these wheels without rolling fenders or adding spacers.

Thanks in advanced for your help!

Yes, a rear roll will be needed running a 255/40 & using a 9.5" +35 wheel

As you noted, the front fitment is OK w/no mods needed. You may see some liner rub at lock positions

18x9.5 on a X you should be getting a +20 offset.

Does anyone know if the these RX7 Series 8 rims fit with a 20mm spacer? They are 16x8 +50 like the series 6 everyone puts for drag setups.

Not the best wheel to use running such a large spacer front & rear. Why not use the std 17" EVO wheel?

Your best bet is to post up your drag wheel questions in the Motorsports forum

These are likely correct but double check

Good morning all, I was hoping someone could help me out. I recently bought a stock 06 Evo 9 from my brother as my DD. I will be adding coilovers here shortly. I've come over from the supraforums (1100 hp single) where I've been for a long time and i'm very new to the evo's and looking for some direction. There are three sets of wheels i'm looking at in the fs section. Could someone tell me what fender work needs to be done in order to fit these wheels:

VOLK RacingRE30 - 18x10.5 +18 (bronze)
Volk CE28N 18x9.5 +15 (bronze)
Advan RZ-DF 19x10.5 +15 (black)

Thanks for the help,
Jeff

The guys who note it all works well w/the minimum fender work, likely have the following conditions
Rear ride height too high / Rear camber set way over the recommended / Not telling the truth regarding rub (any form of rub means it doesnt fit)
Ok so i got the wheels, 18x9.5 +34, i will add a 5mm spacer in front to clear the brembos. What size tire would you recommend? 255/35 or 245/40 (actual ones i have), i am on coilovers and i plan to just roll the rear fenders, no pull.
