FWIW Kyoo, I'm running 18x9.5 +27 NT03's and needed a fender roll, pull, and bumper tab trimming to fit the wheels and 245/35 tires. There's definitely enough rough for 255 but I'm not sure if my pull was aggressive enough to be able to fit 265 nicely, I'll have to see when I get to that point. Either way, you would've needed the roll/pull/trim as well to fit those +28's and not have it just be a show fitment.

Yes, a very good size & no spacers is a plus. Rota makes some nice wheels, but they are heavy but work very well on the street. Others have tracked them!

Hello,
I have an Evo 9 lowered on HKS hipermax coilovers (not flushed at all) and thinking about purchasing Enkei RPF1s 17x9+22. I prefer not to use any spacers. Will these fit? If so, what size of tires should I use? And if it wont fit, should I go for less wide rims or change the offset?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Please note: +22 is a tough offset to fit correctly. The one thing that helps in this case is the 9" width. If it were 9.5" I would recommend steering clear of that offset
The standard tire would be a nice 255/40. You will need a rear fender roll, fender pull & a bumper bolt relocation.
I ran these no.s on the calc & this overlays, just about identically to what I run (17x9.5 +30)
Up front, after adding the 10mm spacer will give you a new offset of +12 which is super aggressive, so expect liner & fender rub. Would recommend the front fender spacer kit
Any other questions. Let me know

I have not dealt w/that RPF1 spec lately. But here is a thread (PhotoB pics are dead) where the owner notes some good details about the fitment (10mm front spacer needed) https://www.socalevo.net/threads/184...olling-fenders

There is an RPF1, IIRC, that does not require a spacer, but its like a 17x8.5 (looks whimpy & the spokes are not flat, but convex)
The RPF1 is a great wheel, and one that I almost chose, but they do need a front spacer unless you run the RPF1 17x9.5 +18 up front & the +38 in the rear (cant rotate)

Ok I need some fitment insight from someone more experienced than I am. I recently impulse purchased a set of wheels that I THOUGHT would fit with no issues, but the more research I do, the more I become unsure.
I picked up a set of Konig Hypergrams 18x9.5 with a 25 offset. I'll be using my existing new 245/40/18's on them that I had on my X wheels. I'm currently on the bilsteins and swift spec r. Has anyone ran this setup?? I'm mainly wondering if I'll need to do fender rolling or need to modify the front fender liners. I have only seen one evo 9 with the 18x9.5, so I don't have a lot of resources.

What sort of alignment do you run?

I'm running 18x9.5 +27 NT03's, so very similar fitment to you. Rear fenders definitely need a pull and roll, along with trimming the bumper tab and another piece of plastic. If you don't need a spacer in the front, I think you might be OK without doing anything special to the front. You might get just a tiny bit of rub on the fender liner at full lock.

Expect the roll & pull & bumper bolt relocation.
