Need Help With Rims

Hey guys, anyone of u know whether the Enkei Bortex RPM2 rims 18*8 with a +35mm offset would fit on a EVO6? I was wondering whether there would be enough clerance for those HUGE Brembo brakes?

Thanks!

No idea, best bet would be to get one rim and try it. And those Brembos really aren't huge....

Yes, Enkei makes the wheels for the WRC car, but I would ONLY get those wheels from Enkei...

Thanks for laughing, it was indeed meant as some kind of a joke!

+30mm would be right. Otherwise, the wheel sits too far "inside" and the spokes could touch the caliper, as a lot of people find out when trying to fit the wheel to the car

It depends, however, on the wheel spoke design and it MIGHT fit with a bigger offset in some cases, ie where the spokes are "rounded" from the center to the rolling surface like the WRC Enkei wheel...

But anyway, this way you get a slightly bigger distance between the front (and rear) wheels...

BANANACAR !!!!!

I just ordered a set of the RPM2 's... i was told BY ENKEI that the only offset that fits the evo is on the 18x 9 !!!! AND YES, the B'GASSS calipers are the reason that the offset is SO critical ... HYPERBLACK. they'll be here in a week
