Evo 8 wide fenders advice

I am from the uk and own an evo 8 260 slughtly tuned i am looking to order front fenders (like the varis ones) from street concept along with some other bits, was wondering what wheels would go best size wise with thw wider fenders? i have been told 18x8.5 et 32 with 235/40s all round as i am after 18s, they say that wud bring the wheel out exactly 12mm just like the fenders??? also will that 12mm look weird at the back or will it be fine? any advice please?

They only widen 10MM, dont worry about custom offset, you wont able to see any gap even with stock wheels. believe me.

I wanna know what the fit is like on these. Ive had some seriously bad experiences with companies that duplicate other products (no offense, even with "Brand Name" products, Im still very leary)

529 bucks is awesome for carbon front fenders....any more, detailed pictures?

i plan on running 18x9.5 rims with 275 tires do you think i will have any rubbing issues with these wide rims and tires? my car is well dropppppeeddddd and im currently rubbing the fenders with the wheel turned under heavy bump or pressure turns and this is with 19/8.5 235/35/19 tires 36-38 mm offset. does the SC offer a higher rim on the these fenders compared to stock?

Your 18x9.5 with 275 is gonna RUB in the back! Unless you do alot of rolling and pulling, or plan on riding near stock height, its gonna rub!

If you want to be able to run the fronts with that same setup, your gonna need the +20mm fenders that GarageHRS or Chargespeed sells.

my car is robi spec but it seems my 19's are way to big because im rubbing while under heavy cornering and with having the wheel cocked hard one way and hitting a bump. so i want to eliminate all problems while im repainting my car and i figured this would be a nice way to solve the above problem.

18 x 8.5 is clearing for me, you might be better off getting rid of the 19`S, missed that part of your post . I think aftermarket fenders are the tackiest thing compared to how tough the car looks with the fronts just pulled and rolled.
