Tire / Wheel Fitment Questions

Wheels & Specs that fit Evo 8/9/X
Can we get a list going of known Wheels/sizes/mods that will
a) Clear Brembos
b) Clear Strut
c) Clear Fenders (not as much a necessity as the other two)
Not starting a new "Stance" or "Aggressive Fitment" pictures thread. I just think it would be beneficial to so many ppl to have a list of wheels sorted by Brand, sizes & maybe a little info on mods such as spacers, fenders Rolled n Pulled etc.. I know there's a lot of ppl who don't know much about wheel fitment, or what effect offset even has on the fitment.
I only know of a handful that fit w/o mods, but I could just start a list based off of what ppl post.
Just a thought. I've been having a hard time finding exactly what I want compared to what will work & if there was a list, I'd have less of a headache right now lol

Cant comment on the front caliper clearance, but as far as rear fender clearance, the +34 in the 9" width gives you a lot of room for tire
That 245/40 should fit very nice & that 40 series will really give it a nice meaty look. Still would recommend a rear fender roll if you havent done than yet

Yeah, that offset is way too deep. After all, our stock offset is +38. You would need to run spacers front & rear to make that work & the spacer size would likely be very thick (well over 1" / 25mm)
Your best RPF1 choice is the tried / true 17x9.5 +38

Some have run the +18's in front & the +38's in the rear but you can not rotate
Your best bet IMO, is to run the 17x9.5 +38 all around so you can rotate the tires. That setup is what most 17" guys run in the RPF

A
Did some searching on the 57DR & did not find too much in the way of EvO (CT9A) fitment. With that +38 offset, youre right that front spacer usage might be required
The 9" width is very modest & so it the +38 (no poke w/that offset). That 18" in the 9.5 would likely have a bit better look & would poke just a bit more due to the 9.5" width & the fact that its 18" (18"'s have a better look IMO, unless you go aggressive w/the 17's)
Just a few thoughts (.02)
