Fitment question?

Hello! Quick question with anyone who can help! I have a 2003 Evo 8 and I recently purchased a set of Fortune Auto 500 series generation 3 coilovers. I found some rims that I want to purchase, but just want to double check if they will fit without any issues towards the coilovers. The rims are XXR 522 18" 5x114.3 with a 25 offset! I've been told by people I may want to check if I need spacers to clear the coilovers. Would anyone know off hand if I would need spacers or should I be good. Thanks!

+25 offset puts you far away from the coilovers.

The issue will be the tire size & the work needed to clear the rear fender IMO

Not sure about the fitment over the front calipers

i think they meant by if you need spacers to clear the brembos.
Im have 18x9.5 +27 nt03s but have to run at least 10mm spacers to clear the brembos.
you're gonna need some fender work to fit those

Depends on the spoke/wheel design. Search this site for that wheel and see if anyone has ran it.

I've ran 18X9.5 +20's on my Evo from Rota's to Volks and now Works and the rear fenders needed some work to fit. No spacers (Rota's were close).
