I want to put 18x10 XXR 521 wheels on an Evo 9. What modifications would I need to do other than rolling the fenders? Here's a couple pictures to show you what I'm going for...

And are these good wheels? What are your opinions? Thanks

Nice wheels man, but rolling fenders or mjor body work is theonly thing I can think of.

 

You are gonna have to seriously roll the fender lips and have some serious fender pull done... which is never perfect.... or you can trade it in for a X and fit it easy...

 

the second and third pictures there are DecepticonsMR's car so you can ask him what offset and fender work he did.

afaik he didn't do much aside from rolling fenders. rears might be pulled a bit but (unless it's changed) the fronts aren't spaced out with the fender mod or anything

 

In for some more answers because searching the stanced thread is a PITA lol

 

Im running the same setup. Need 25mm spacer up front to clear brakes. Currently I have zero fender work running 235. Had it pretty low, rubbing when turning fast, big dips or had people in the car. But keep in mind i have no fender work done. YET Oh and youll need coilovers as well. Goodluck!

 

Get the right offsets and you wont need a spacer to clear calipers. You need coilovers, you will most likely need a roll depending on the size tire you plan on running. I have 18x10 +19F +32R, I don't need spacers, to clear anything. I'm running 265/35 tires and a roll w/ some camber is all i need.

As far as your question on if they are good wheels....if you've seen my other posts you will know how I feel about XXR.

 

Can anyone post a pic of they ride with a wide rim? I want to check out the rides overall stance.

 

Search "The ULTIMATE Aggressive Wheel Thread"

 

18x10 +15 with 235's

 

dont want to thread jack but 18x10 521's on an 8/9 can you run a 265 tire?

and to OP i know you also are suggested to hammer the pinch welds

 

Do u need any spacer at front or rear??

 

Thank you guys... I think I will pick a less aggressive setup

 

is it bad to to the drivetrain to run wheels with same size but different offsets like Kbuss is?

 

I'm running 18x10 et25 with 255's all around. Slight roll in the rear and on coilovers.
