I may go that route and leave it CF instead of painting it. My problem is knowing which company makes the better wing. Was looking at Seibon

Yea, it's up to preference. I would never go 10.5, but other want nothing other than10.5. imo, 9.5 with +18 offset is really agressive already. 10.5 sticks out too much.

You all seem to deal with rubbing issues, so why does no one run a higher offset than +15? does the higher offset not fit due to brakes?

the difference between poking a +15 and +30 offset, the wheels will not be sunken, they would be just inside the fender and require no fender work & still look good IMO

with a 265 tire

With a higher offset we can run spacers anyway, right? I for one would go with +15 w/o spacers though.

yes this is true...they won't fit without a spacer to clear the brakes

stick with 18x9.5 +15, if that is too much for you, go 18x8.5 +30...i heard those fit without adding a spacer

I actually think the monster truck look looks better than the sunken battleship stock look. I may get my 10.5s sooner than expected now I see what it looks like on stock height suspension.

This was my first Evo X and I just love the way these wheels look on this car! You get use to the 9.5 so I had to go bigger this time. Monster Truck look is going away next week. Coilovers come on Saturday!
