he likely means +10 offset, which will still poke pretty good!

I have gt-n's on my mr2, and like has been said if your dd'ng this car get rota's. With volks you will be extremely paranoid no matter where you drive. I got a rock chip on the lip of one of the wheels and it hurt

My car is GG and I plan on having them for daily driving. I dont like little skiny rims that are sunk in the fenders. SDo that's why I want 18X9.5

What are these rotas I keep reading about? Which ones? Do they have a deep dish?

I understand not wanting the wheels sunk into the fenders and you can fit 9.5 inch wide wheels under the stock fenders, I'm running 17x9.5 myself however with an offset of 35 they just barely fit under the fenders. What I'm trying to say is with an offset of 10 your wheels will stick out an inch wider than mine and theres no way they wont hit the fenders especially if your car is lowered.

As far as rotas go check out wheeldude.com or look up one of his sale threads in the vendor section. Theirs all different styles and some very aggressive sizes too.

Volk GT-M 18x9.5 -10 look like they're prob a rear setup for a widebody silvia/350Z etc.... Def not an Evo wheel. Even if it is a +10 there is no way thats fitting an Evo thats not specifically modded for that wheel.

For a 9.5 wheel I would not go past a +22 offset and that will rerquire fender work depending on how much tire you try to run, possibly major fender work.
