The diameter for the 265/35/18 is 25.3 inches so we are talking about a difference of 0.2 inches which is insignificant.

I only have pictures of White Evo X's with Hyper Black. I know this isn't the same car however I hope this helps show the color combo, here is the 18x9.5 model in Hyper Black on our Black 350Z





and for those interested in White on Black, this combo is a bit different but in person it's realllly nice. I love looking at the car at night, it's a color combo that people will literally slow down next to you on the freeway just to stare at the car and give you thumbs up





and White on White

Now I am completely confused! Wanted black but these Hyper Black look awesome. Really wish I could see them on a PB X; I think Hyper would look better than the straight black.

what fitment of rims/tires is on that white subie? I think it was mentioned about a +38 offset, any chance of using spacers on the evo viii/ix to clear brembos?

These would be very very aggressive and I do not recommend this wheel for your application. We do offer a 18x8.5 +44 Grid model which is a great fit on the 09 RA. PM me for info on these!

The White Subie has 18x9.5 +38 (same concave as the 9.5 +20 model, just different backspacing). We have White in stock in 18x9.5 +20 for the Evo X and aggressive fitting Evo 8/9. I only recommend running the 18x9.5 +20 as the Evo 8/9 needs a low offset for these wheels to clear without spacers, from our templates it was indicated that the 8/9 would need at least a 18x9.5 +24 for the wheels to clear.
