Evo X Wheel experts needed!

I've been looking through these threads for over a year now and I've been looking for the right wheels for my RR Evo X. I finally found the style that and look that I've been looking for. However, everywhere I go I keep getting told that they wont fit my car and I know I've seen many of you run similar specs on your cars so I don't know why wheel shops are telling me this. Anyway, I'm here to listen to what you guys have to say. I really want the TSW Cadwell 19 x 9.5 with an offset of +20 will these fit the Evo X? What about clearing the Brembos? Tire sizes? Fender rolling? I'll stop now Again any input is greatly appreciated, I know there are a lot of helpful people on this forum. Thanks in advance!

No one knows because no one has those wheels. They might need a fender roll, but I'd be wary of the brake clearance.

Plus they're heavy and not all that good looking (IMO).

If i had to guess your problem would be with brake clearance. but hey, why not go get a test fit some place?

That's exactly what I wanted to do but most wont let me do it due to liability issues. If I scratch it I buy it. And then they wont let me buy them and return them if they don't fit. (Talk about poor customer service) Anyway, I have done a ton of research on these wheels and the different aspects of wheels in general to get a better understanding on how the different sizes, offsets worked. I'm sure I can get some spacers if needed but as for fender rolling, I don't really know how or any place that does them around here. Thanks for the suggestions so far. I know no one else has these and they seem to be of high quality so that is why I was interested in them. I saw them on a 350 Z and thought they would look great on my X. Keep the comments coming!

It's hard to tell depth just by looking at a picture but I'm pretty sure that won't clear the brake calipers. The spokes look pretty flush to the PCD.

They look like they will be heavier then the stockies. Go light weight...Unless you have MTV Cribs coming to your house.
