Talking oOoh Mm GeeE!

Hello EvoM community, I have a '05 VIII and am finally in the market for new wheels/rims/"shoes"... unfortunately I am clue-less where to start.. well not completely, i know i want to run Enkei RPF1's but as far as running what size rim and what off-set or spacers I'm not so completely sure about. I'm looking to get a good looking stance. Some what aggressive but nothing too crazy. DD it. Maybe something along the lines of this...

again I'm kinda new to this and any bit of advice would be appreciated guys. thank you.

Welcome! If you are starting your search with RPF1s then you are heading in the right direction of what you want. Check out the threads in the show and shine section.

255 yes but anything with a width of 9.5 with a offset of +25 or lower you may slightly rub. but i'd have to say 18x9.5 is the best size for a stock fender'd evo. i ran 18x9.5+22 before with 245/40/18 and it still rubbed in the rear. fender roll fixed it.
