I just saw Rays came out with this new model. It looks like a modified 57D/R, but it has a +25 offset that sounds like it would be slightly more favorable a fitment (meaning possibility of not rolling the fenders) than the +22 that comes on the 57D/R. Has anyone tried it or have pictures of it on an Evo X?

Here's the wheel:

Is this a brake-clearance question or should I just move it to show-and-shine right now?

Why would a topic about a wheel go in show and shine when this forum is called "Evo X Tires, WHEELS, Brakes & Suspension"?

Was it because I referenced a singular wheel and not all 4 (to coincide with the plurality of the word in the forum title)?

And furthermore, my post specifically references the fitment of the wheel on the car (it was the 33rd combination of character from the start of my post).

I left it general as I am looking for response such as:

"The spokes don't clear the brakes"

"They fit great, the additional 3mm in over the 57DR makes these fit without rolling the fenders with 265s given you use a narrower tire like the Nittos."

and I am even open to:

"They fit perfect, but weigh 97lbs each."

Relax. I was just warning people like JP3NS that I don't want to see a lot of "they look cool" posts in a tech forum.

Ok, so does anyone want to take a guess about fitment. They are listed as "Clearing Evo X brakes", but the +25 offset intrigues me as I don't like aggressive offsets and this sounds like it may (with the use of a narrow running tire brand) fit with 265s without rolling the fenders.

I believe Rota Torques and the XXR 522s are the only other 18X 9.5 that come with this offset, but Rays seem to fit a bit further in with the same offset as some other brands (ie less people complain about rubbing with the +22 57DRs as compared to people with +22 Rota Grids).

Offset is offset, so I don't see how two wheels that are the same width and same offset would have different amounts of tire-clearance. Yes, some wheels have thinner lips than others (and therefore have more wheel clearance), just as wheels vary quite a bit in brake-clearance, but the tires should be in exactly the same place.

With that said, I agree that +25 is a very good offset for our cars. I would kill for a +25 16x9 in our bolt-pattern.

I am just going to throw this out there. I test fitting my Gram Lights 57DR's 18x9.5 +22 offset off my Evo 8 on my Evo X to get an idea of wheel fitment for that car. Stock alignment specs, 255 tires it was close on the rear, front had good clearance with the fenders and plenty with the brakes as well.

If you were to go with a 265 wide tire with this new wheel sitting in 3mm more it would probably be about the same fitment. It will also depend on how low you are and the tire you go with.

I right now am running 18x10.5 +22 offset wheels, roller lip in the rear with 275 tires, slightly more aggressive alignment than stock at -1.8 front / -1.0 rear. I don't have much of any rubbing issue other than when I have my front wheels turned full lock to the right I will rub a bit on the plastic inner fenders.

I honestly don't thing you would have much of any issue though with the setup you are looking for

255/40 on 57DR with the specs you listed above rub in the back at -1.7 camber (had to get them cut) and the fronts rub the inner fenders near full lock

Edit: on GTWorx springs
