No they definitely will not clear the Evo X's calipers because the spokes are recessed in order to give it a deeper lip.

Their website is wrong. Call Konig directly and they will tell you that. Don't listen to the website or any tire shops as they just reference the website. The wheel spokes will hit the front brake caliper due to how deep the lip is. Trust me on this.

I saw your post . My question to you is how do you know if you have not personally tried them or not not just hearsay from konig . I measured the gap of the stock rim to caliper and there is 9mm gap the offset is 30 which 8 less than stock now of course konig would say they wont there really is no space. Technically they should fit. Next question how can the evo VIII and IXs fit these.

Yes I have tried them. As I said above, you can call Konig directly and they will tell you that they test fitted them on the evo x and they won't fit. It hits the front caliper. These rims do fit evo 8/9's. The front calipers on the X are larger and they hit. It's not just offset that matters. It's the spoke design of the actual wheel - the deep lip on the wheel with recessed spokes makes it so that the spokes don't go out as far away from the calipers, so they hit. If you don't believe me, order some and try it out

Try some concave rims, or most rims w/o a lip and thick spokes.
