the only size I want is 18x9.5 because they will be better for my 255 tires. But the only problem is they are +40 offset Not sure how that will look

according to Volks website in japan yes.. unless +12 offset would fit I would do it!

BTW only the 06 models come in these sizes. the older ones have more offsets but 35 is closest that would fit.

Hey Derek,
I was almost set on a set of 18" TE's and spent WEEKS trying to find the right offset for a stock fender setup. I looked at the following sizes, and I'll put the little bit of info I know about each:

18x9.5+ 35 -- It fits fine, its what Volk recommends for the Evo. I didn't like the offset because I wanted something with a little more "concaveness" to give it the little deep dish look. This size with 255 is a perfect setup...no need to roll any fenders, just slap them on and go.

18x9.5+22 -- Its gonna take some work to get these to fit. The fronts will fit with wide fenders, but I'm not sure to what extent the OEM fenders would need to make them fit. The rears were gonna take some serious rolling, and were gonna need to be pulled out to make them fit without rubbing. If you did all that, I figured out that a 275 would fit, but it would be a tight fit.

18x9 +22 -- This is the setup if you want a aggressive setup, but 255, maybe 265 is the widest you'll really want to run. I was set on a 9.5" width, so I didn't go this route.

17x9.5+22 -- I know there is at least 1 guy running this setup...looks SICKS. The +22 works with the smaller wheel alot better, and allows you to run the OEM fenders, and just roll the rears. I would have gone with this size, but I needed the 18" to clear my ProjectMu brake kit.

Hope all the helps a little. This is NOT definant information, just what I learned asking around!

I ended up going with a staggard CE28 setup, using a 18x9 +28 (front) and a 18x9.5+35 (rear). Going with 17's really lets you run a more aggressive offset. There is a EVONY owner whose running 17x9.5 with +28/+35 setup(I think those are the offsets) and it looks great...fits the OEM fenders too I believe.

*BTW, PM me for any Volk info. I work for Evolution Autosports...I can get you ANY Volks your interested in*

-Stephen
