Weird, today I went to install my te37 saga 18x9.5 -22 on my Evo 9 and it's touching the brembos in the front and they had to put on some spacers on it.
I'm not sure why it wouldn't fit, everyone said the size is good for Evo. In any case, I don't want to use the cheap spacer they put on, any recommendations? thanks

I don't know why it was touching the caliper. I wasn't able to install it without spacers.

Well, the +22 offset is as good as it gets as far as being able to clear the caliper but that particular wheel has a spoke design that just doest fit w/out spacers.

Doesn't fit with spacers? What do you mean?

@Nocti-Evo

That hub ring size is very popular. Pretty sure those are the rings i run (73.1 to 67.1). Amazon or others:

Nice looking wheels. Got photos looking down the sides from behind so we can see how they sling to the fenders?

Work Meister M1 3P
Hi All,

Has anyone got Work Meister M1 3p on?

Planning on getting them at 18 x 9.5j, and not sure what disc type will clear front and rear Brembos...

Thanks

Hi Steve @Steve.C

I did a search and found this thread that may help. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-meisters.html
No simple way to give advice on an offset without a test fit

Thanks for posting & cheers, Joe

Been eyeballing these rims: https://enkei.com/shop/wheels/racing/gtc02/

They have a 18x9 in +30 application which sounds like the sweet spot. I'm still running regular struts all around so that offset should give me the inner clearance I would need. I'm guessing I'd have to worry about caliper clearance in the front and possibly having the rear fenders rolled too? (right now I'm on 17X9 +35 5Zigens with 255 tires, no issues)
