Whoa...easy there guy. What I posted is fact. I'm not sure who you spoke to at the Greddy booth but I personally know a few people at Greddy and the size/offset they picked out did not fit over the stock front brakes. The GREX 6 piston brake upgrade has a different size caliper and if I remember correctly, is a bit bigger in diameter. Even with that setup, the particular wheel size/offset they used barely fit. Oh, and they also had to roll the rear fender. I'm sure there is a correct size/offset that will clear the stock Brembos.
Easy on the name calling. I'm just trying to be helpful here.

Sorry to come across as mean. Didnt mean to offend I was merely saying that they assured me that The wheels fit. Fender rolling is an issue with the 9.5 wide but they never mounted a 8.5 so no one really knows. Ill be posting so closse up shots in a few after I get them watermarked.
here is a close up i found. 18x9.5 unknown offset. 235/40/18 tires

Yeah...Chris from Greddy will be back in tomorrow and I will figure out the cheapest shipping possible and any wheel issues that need to be taken care of before I have the sale. I dont wanna screw you guys if there are any problems. Ted at Greddy said that they were fine but Im gonna wait until I talk to the head honch. Thanks for waiting.
Just figured out the scoop. The only offset recommended for the evo is +25. You need to run a 3mm spacer in the front and a 5mm in the rear. Fender rolling is not required for the 8.5 but the 9.5 will be in need of a roll if you plan on running 255 on up. pm me if you are still intrested so I can get a idea of how many people want these. Thanks.
count me in. couple of questions. will a 18x8.5 +25 have the same concave face as a 18x9.5 +25? 2nd, for such a small spacer will we be able to use our stock wheel studs or will we have to get extended wheel studs?
