offset and wheel spoke orientation will determine if you have to roll/pull fenders. if you are worried about body modifications stay with wheels with stock offset and familiar spoke design. if not you'll need to research more. my evo is sitting on enkei rpf1 18x9.5 +15 offset, 235/40 falken 452 tires with negative camber and no fender and pulling....my car isnt slammed either

I was thinking xxr 521's 18"x9 with + 25 offset with a 18/225/35 or so tire. I guess slight rolling won't matter too much I just don't want to do front fender pulling or anything.
It'll probably be dropped 2" or so lower than stock

I was up at the Dallas cup cake meet today and just about every rolled fender looks kind of shotty and lumpy looking. I just don't want that to be my Evo lol

Move yourself up to the Tires, Wheels & Suspension forum & do some researching. A lot of examples things that work & dont

The post above w/ that silly +15 doesnt work. Try & choose something that would be track worthy w/ full suspension travel, zero fender rub & w/out using wild neg camber

+25 is doable but aggressive. Also, pick a mans tire width, 255 & above

Research & choose carefully my friend

EDIT. Forgot to mention. Use this calculator. Plug in what you have now & what you want to go with

Research there only about fitments. Posting about stretching tires on wheels will get you flamed hard. 225's on a 9" wheel...really...
