It has something to do with the way the wheel is casted and shaped front to back, and how the Evo 10's offset, hubs, rotors and brakes don't fit the casting. Does that make sense? If the SVN-Rs fit I would have had these many moons ago and wouldn't be debating between the NT03s, RPFs, and every-body-has-them Grids.

I was told that the Boost 2 wheel doesn't fir either?? Wheeldude... can you clarify since it was mentioned a little earlier that the Boost 2 would work?

This is correct. Since it is a lipped wheel the barrel gets small on the inside. The Evo X calipers do not clear the inside barrel. The top of the caliper is about 1mm away from the barrel which makes it impossible to mount a sticky weight on the inside. The only way to solve this is to have the weights mounted on center of the barrel, which is not recommended. This also goes for the RT-5
