Thanks for the help. So I guess the G-force 18x9+30 or the varrstoen es2 18x9.5+30 on a 255/35 is my best bet.

Yeah, I just put a deposit down a on a JDM Evo IX so I'm looking for some decent wheel/tire combos.

Thats great to hear (JDM Evo IX)

Ran your no.s on the calculator. 18x9.5+30 on a 255/35. Good spec for the EVO but for sure a fender roll & maybe a slight pull may be in order.
You may not need the fender bolt relocate, but +30 is considered, by me, as aggressive, but not overly so.
Again, opinion is based on running rear stockish camber & zero rub through the full suspension stroke

I contacted Muellerized and i been working with them since. Im waiting for my calipers to get back from getting powder coated so i could assemble my car back and take pics so they could give me a more precise opinion.

Picked a well experienced EVO shop there! Let us know what wheel & tire you end up choosing w/their advice

This has probably been asked 100 times but using search hasnt given me the answers i want. Im looking for a new set of wheels for my 03 evo 8. And i noticed 1995-2004 mustangs have the same bolt pattern and similar off sets. I would really like to put a set of saleens on my evo but i dont know if they will clear. Heres a link to the wheels.

If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.

The noted specs are 18x9 +24

I ran these no.s on the calc 18x9 +24 running a 255/35. The tough issue w/this will be the +24 offset. It is doable providing the rears are rolled & a fender pull will be needed. You may not need to relocate the rear bumper bolt

The front fitment will likely require a spacer to fit over the calipers. Pretty cool looking wheels

18x9.5 +38mm offset Work Emotion 11R


How big of a spacer needed front and rear to clear Brembo's?
Will it push the wheel out to the point where I'm rolling the rears?


Thanks!

The wheels should fit OK in the rear w/out any spacers to clear the small rear caliper

The front spacer you will have research w/others that are familiar w/the spec. The idea is to run as little spacer as needed. Anything over 25mm, I would avoid.

Ill search it for ya & see if I can find anything

EDIT: Just a couple of 11R threads. Certainly a lot more CR KAI threads

Good info. Thanks! I'm thinking a 10mm front spacer putting the offset at +28mm which seems more common.

I currently have 255/45/18 tires that I'd like to use. Will they be all stretchy/stancey/steezy? I'd like to avoid buying new tires but will if it eliminates the stancey steez.

The 45 series is way out of range. A very large -6.32% speedo error from stock

If it were a 40 series I would have said OK, but 45 is out of range

The best fit would be a 255/35 & the width is ideal for a 9.5 wide wheel

Enkei rs05rr on a evo 8
I think i can only get 18x9 because factory didn't make 18x8-8.5 to suit evo 8

Can someone confirm, if what i said is true would i have problems running 18x9 on my evo 8

Heres the sheet from official enkei site : http://enkei.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/rs05rr.pdf

For sure the 18x9 is a good size wheel for the EVO 8/9. Looks like you have a few choices in offset. The only 2 I see as viable are the +25 & 35

The +25 will be tough to fit, but is doable based on the level of rear fender work you are willing to do

The +35 will be much easier to fit & depending on tire size will determine how much fender roll will be necessary

Running a 255/35R18 Toyo's on +28 with just a fender roll on mine. Good aggressive look.

Post up a few pics. +28 is tough to fit w/just a roll

Would xxr 521's at 18x10 with a 25 offset and 265/40/18 work and if so would i need a spacer and or any fender work?
