The funny thing is I am not interested in the wheels, and i shouldn't let this bother me... but you are acting like a kid about the stupid offsets.. You don't even want the wheels and you are willing to sell them already for what reason?

1) you bought a wheel that looks like crap on your car (if your going to do a wheel that big, should have done wide body)

2) put tires on that were to small

3) realized that your "Custom staggered" setup is meant for a BMW or a Ferarri and looks extremely goofy on an AWD car... you just don't put a staggered setup on AWD cars...
couldnt have stated it any better!

I dont know what everyones deal is ? ?? I guess no one likes change around here, every one likes the same old normal boring shit. I did this so I would have something different, something that no one else had. I guess some people dont appreciate that. And to everyone who thinks the tires are super stretched, I guess no one had seen those 240's with the 225's on 10's. Also, BFG advertises this tire will work on a 10, so its not so stretched. I think before everyone goes out saying there ugly, i beat the crap out of my fenders to fit them, there too big, yada yada yada, they should do a little research. I am NOT the first one to do 18x10's on an Evo. This is my 2nd set of them. I guess every other person on here who has 18x10's are too big too??? Mabye the lips are too big for some?? I dont know, but there the same size. Oh well, either like them or not, I dont care lol. Different strokes for different folks.

Everyone know the proper size is a 275, the tire manufacture is trying to sell as many tires as possible, therefor saying that there tire will fit from a to b, a wider range of wheels fitments means more prophets.

Bottom line is, who cares if he bolted up a 10" rim to his car, they dont fit!
Put the correct tire on there, last I checked the evo doesnt drift very well.

Im going to think "Out of the Box" and Throw some CCW custom 20x11 on there, hey they dont fit and they look like hell, but who cares, there dubs with a 6"lip

Haha, think whatever you would like. I guess something I said got under your skin?? I dont know, who cares. Anyways, Im selling them because Ive found another wheel I like, with an even BIGGER lip . Hopefully when you see them you wont pull your hair out, or break an artery. Im glad you think my wheels should be on a Ferrari, thats really nice of you to say.

That would be sick. Should I do 11" for my next wheels?? Mabye they look bad to you, but myself, and obviously others on here, really like them.

Damn, just think how many more tires they would sell if they said they could go up to an 11" wheel. Im sure they put that number there to inform buyers of the maximum size rim they will fit on for safe operation.

Oh and BTW, they fit. See pics above.

Just make sure the lip sticks out the side of car atleast 2", would make for some perfect curb feelers and think of all the cool smoke you could make from the tires rubbing away, yay......

I don't see what all the fuss is about. The world would be really boring if we all had the same parts on our car because XYZ on the internet thinks only ABC parts make an Evo look good.

Even better the folks, that don't understand offsets that claim something doesn't work because they've never seen it. I'm glad to see something different on here even if it might not be my cup of tea.

It's funny that you say that since you've done it yourself.
