**My Custom ROTA P-45R2 Wheels**
Oh it also doesnt help that they said they didnt feel comfortable putting on my suspension. WTF!!! Ai8 coo whatever. I can do it myself. Just have to find someone to help me with adjusting them since Ive never done it
Well if the company selling the wheels said that I could do so without buying extended, well yea but obviously he didn't know what he was talking about because I had planned to purchased studs and lugs in the first place.
No one has ever used these on a Evo plus I did as much research as I could for not knowing anything. I get one thing from the wheel company, tires and everything but no one thought about running into this issue with the wheel well. Also didnt see anything about anyone else having to do what I need to do

I wouldn't expect someone specializing in knock offs to be very knowledgeable about anything....
Pro Tips:
#1 spacers should be avoided at all costs, if you do have to run them make sure they are hubcentric and you have extended studs.
#2 you cannot run acorn style lug nuts on a conical lug seat found on 99% of aftermarket wheels, they will not seat correctly and you will end up being a rolling liability.
#3 stop buying knock offs your killing this industry one wheel at a time.

Dude, why are you all over this guys nuts?? Relax. Are you upset he's not making another cookie-cutter RPF1 sporting evo like everyone else or something?? Or maybe you wanted him to buy a $3,000 set of Volks to experiment with strange colors and wraps?? There's a smart idea
. Great job stifling creativity with your close minded rant.

Who cares if wheels are knock offs or "real". Are they reliable? Do they break from normal driving? Im not going to be autox, rallying or whatever so I dont think it really matters. I bought the rims for me and me only. These has nothing to do with what brand "Wheels" I went with. If I would have purchased Volk or who ever wheels, same offset or what not, this would STILL be a issue I would have ran into. The only thing is I would have still purchased my extended studs

Well you spend all your money on 3-4k wheels . That's you. No one is killing the wheel industry anyway. Everyone has their choices of what to purchase.

And you are wrong, 18x9.5 +25 with 265's no roll no fitment issues, clears calipers.
^^you do realize offset isn't everything, it depends on the backspacing of the wheel and the spoke design, so just because that wheel clears doesn't mean his will automatically, get your facts right.

offset is based on the center line of the wheels my man, spoke design does in fact play a role in brake clearance but offset is offset. Assuming your wheels dont have some bunk *** barrel design a 9.5" +25 should fit the same across the board, that is unless you buy cheap *** wheels that knock off a face design and have no real engineering behind them.
