Anyone know what the BEST offset is for a 18x8.5" wheel?
i want it to be tucked as good as possible, about as tucked as the stockers.
A +38 offset plenty high for that and still clear calipers?
Im looking into several dif wheels, one being the volk ce28n. how is the +40 offset on that wheel?
the higher the offset, the closer to the caliper, right? i always get this crap confused.

I'm looking at some 18 x 9s that have a +44 offset, but come with a 5mm spacer so I take it that effectively reduces the offset to +39?
Anyone got any experience fitting SSW D5R's?

Bolt Pattern for EVO VI
Hello,
I am trying to find out what the bolt pattern is for an EVO VI (6). Also, has anyone here used stern wheels on their rides? www.sternwheels.com
I like the ST-2 Face II Touring Sport 18 x 8 but I don't know if it can fit my EVO. Any help guys... Thanks

summary of fitment
I summarized what I have found (mostly on this forum) and here are my conclusions:
* SHIFTING WHEELS OUT BY ~16mm AND IN BY ~17mm WITH 255/40/17 TIRES ALLOW ~1.5"/0.75" DROP (F/R) ...depending on spring stiffness
* With a big drop in the Rear, you may want to roll fender EVEN IF you haven't shifted out much
* If you drop 2" in Front, you want to watch out. See illegalakkord VS evo81 and 'ringmeister (note: illegalakkord and evo81 don't seem to agree, unless illegalakkord had it wrong and he was rubbing on the OUTside due to his larger shift OUT)
I have all the complete info in table form in Excel which exports well to .html, but not so well to .doc, but I will try to attach the .doc anyway since that appears to be my only option. (this is my first post here and first attachment anywhere, so here goes nothin... well it was too big, so I zipped it. Here goes nothin again)

Those are perfect. Where did you get them and how much? What Toyos are those? Do you know the weight of the wheel and tire combo? Your Evo looks great, nothing beats a clean black car.
