Konig milligram 18x9.5+25 wheel results
This thread is to post my fitment/results.
The wheels are made by konig via license for MAT technology from enkei.
So they are basically Enkei wheels which I have been running for ages without issue (cracks, track abuse, etc).
At 9.5 width they only weigh 19.5lbs. Pretty decent.

The tires are pilot super sports 265/35/18
I am currently STOCK height and was able to get the rear to rub with SPIRITED mountain driving. So looks like a fender roll is in order for the rear before lowering. Thinking of going with swift sport springs. I already had eibach springs on the car and hated them so much I put the stock springs back on.
The fronts at FULL LOCK just barely touch the front plastics (vent areas). I can fix that with either some zip ties or safety wire or a little heat and a push. BARELY touches and only at full lock.

I think they look great! Like Rob, I'm also kinda surprised you rub, especially with the 265/35 (smaller overall diameter from stock). Like you mentioned...little massage with a heat gun, job done.

I daily drive my Evo, too. To at least help the wheel gap front-to-rear, I put Swift Sport springs on the fronts only, kept the stock springs on the rear. I do have taller 255/40 tires though, which fill more of the wheel well. Something to consider if you don't want to take the full plunge into all-out lowering:
Drag DR49 18x9 +28 with 255/40 Cooper RS3-S, slight rub on front plastic inner fender at full lock (heat gun+wooden spoon=no more rub)

I knew I was going to get it from you guys for my filthy car! I will be adjusting my tune this week since I put in a test-pipe (had MilSpec 200 cell cat). Seems knock numbers have dropped from random 2-3 to random 1. So I am should hit over 400 at the wheels this weekend (220hp baseline)... Question is do I bother to wash it before going to the track!?

So do you notice any unbalance in stiffness with the Swift Sports on the front only? My buddy had mentioned that I should try that, so its perfect that you mentioned it.

You won't believe it. The theory is this: Amazon must auto lower the price of items sitting in their warehouse for a long period or something. Because I was looking for these wheels and one night noticed FOUR NEW (and only 4) for sale on amazon by amazon in an amazon warehouse for $115 each... That's it. Insane! I grabbed those four and when I searched again the price was back up to normal. I was going to buy more and flip'em !
