**My MR on Volk Time Attacks**
i bought the exact same wheels and i was told it was great fitment and there would be no issues!
Firstly .....sad to say he was wrong ...
you will have to run a 2mm spacer as it touches the caliper!
and besides the caliper slap on some 265 rubber and it will rub on the coilovers
FFS am i pissed ...
IMHO if you want to run this setup 22 or 28 offset on the front and 34 on the rear.....
Costs money to learn
so the answer is NO they wont fit bro .......
anybody wanna buy some time attack wheels ...LOL!!

They fit on my car??? Mabye Im just special 
. If you have to run a spacer for some reason, you can go up to an 8mm without the need for new studs. I have done up to that size before.
Also, my fenders were rolled from previous wheels. I would imagine you would want to roll them with 9.5" wheels regardless.

I have them on my car 18 x 9.5 +34 all around with a 265/35 tire. The front will rub on the coilovers (If you don't use a spacer with the 265 tire), I never had an issue with it touching the calipers. I do however run spacers in the front and longer ARP wheels studs. The rears will fit without issue at all.
If they had the T/A's available in +28 at the time I would have got those in the front. My car is pretty low all around and it does not rub in the rear even on the rare occasions I do have people in the car and the front right will sometimes touch the fender liner, but never the fenders. I never had to roll my fenders nor would I ever need to on these offsets.

I have the stock ride height on my EVO MR and I purchased these wheels/tires from the thread starter. I have not installed the wheels yet because of the terrible winter weather around here, but I hope they do indeed fit. If I do have to install 2mm spacers, that is not a big deal at all. And just a heads up, the tire size installed on these wheels is 255, not 265. I don't remember seeing anyone tell you that 265's would fit.

no one said that 265 would fit perfect but a 265 is the right size tyre for a 9.5j rim
and 255 for a 9j, it will be very stretched a 255 on 9.5

look my car is not slammed to the bone as i would rather have a better handling than one that looks cool because of being slammed.
on the front i will have no issue at all but on the rear i might touch a bit
