Very interested to hear more about wheels and alignment specs. I would have never guessed the no-fender rolling thing.

Love it, looks awesome on silver.

I was thinking about going with the same setup but im on MR Shocks and H&R Springs. Im not sure if it'll clear the lower strut mount but i hear i can fit them without having to roll my fenders on a 255 size tire.

Thanks for the kind words yall. I really took my time with the looks of this car adding and deleting parts along the way. I like my cars to have a subtle look. It seems that everyone with an apex silver evo goes with black, bronze, gunmetal, etc for wheel color. I love silver on silver.

Coilovers: Megan Racing Street
Wheels: RPF1, 18 x 9.5, +38 offset
Spacers: Project Kicks, +25mm, in the front only making it +18.
Tires: Dunlap Direzza Star specs 255/35/18

I'm not into my wheels sticking way beyond the fenders. Not a fan of wide wheels with stretched tires too. Evo's have more "hips" in the front so the +18 set up sits flush in the front and the +38 sits flush in the rear.

RPF1's that are 18x9.5 and +15 will work without spacers but they WILL stick it too far UNLESS you do the following. An evodave fender kit will help with the front and side skirt extensions will help in the rear but you will need fender work in the rear, chansevo8 did it best.

^^

Im sure you meant 20mm spacer up front because if you did use a 25mm your offset would be pushed to +13.

I purchased these same exact wheels for my car as well... hoping to have it bolted onto my Apex Silver evo in a few weeks as well. Only on springs but im sure the car will look great.
