I know this is the wrong order but I needed new tires and was initially running 235/40zr18s because I got them for free.

I just ordered continental DWs in 265/35zr18 as per reading similar set-ups for my Evo 9. My rotas are 30 offset and although the size seams to be the same as stock, I am not sure if I will rub with those. I am thinking that maybe I should get 255/35 18s.

Any thoughts?

^^^Hi Mike

I too run a P45R but in the 17x9.5 +30 variety

Would help if I knew the exact size wheel & will run this up on the calculator

A set of TE37 17X9 (40offset) 5X114.3 just came up for sale for 1400. Will they fit my 2005 Evo 8 RS or will I have to get spacers/roll fenders. I know nothing about wheels really. Thanks for any input.

The offset is very deep as you should know the stock is +38. It will likely fit Ok in the rear running a 255/40 tire. No roll or spacer necessary. If it was me I would stay away from the wheel due to the offset. These high offset wheels usually have very flat spokes. I personally like a lower offset (+30) to get that concaveness & wheel poke

In the front, a spacer is very likely as I am not familiar w/this wheel. Will check the Volk thread to see if anyone else has run this wheel.

Ran the following on the calculator:

18x9.5 +30 running a 265/35 tire = This will require the full rear fender treatment (roll, pull, bumper bolt to fully tuck & clear)

255/35 = You may be able to avoid the fender pull, but a nice, tight rear fender roll will be needed. Likley no rear bumper bolt relocation needed

Only the rear will require the pull,roll. Etc.? Will the fronts be fine?

Fronts will be Ok w/no serious mods needed. No need to touch the alum fenders at all. There will likely be some light liner rub at lock positions but no liner treatment needed unless you want to heat gun them

We have discussed fitment before but I haven't really found anything I really like till now. I'm wondering what it would take to fit 17x9 +28 work emotion CR kai

Really a nice sized wheel for the EVO except the offset is on the aggressive side. I ran the following on the calculator

17x9 +28 on 255/40 = The rears will need a full flat roll, slight fender pull & the bumper bolt relocated. This is running in spec camber (less than 2 degrees) & the ability to fully tuck the tire w/zero rub

Front fit will be OK w/no issues except a front spacer may be needed to clear the calipers

Should be fine on 245s?

Looks like the 245's will eliminate the need for the pull & bumper bolt relocation, but a rear roll will be needed for sure

Gave up on that idea but did find 17x9 +35 rg1 for sale !

Ok, thats a bit better & will fit w/out doing too much rear fender work

Ran your no.s using the following: 17x9 +35 running the 255/40 = Roll the rears & should be OK w/no other mods needed (The 9" & the +35 really help)
