Why flame suit? Looks great in my opinion. And I'm not sure why they shouldn't work, looks like they fit well.

I ran 18x9.5 +15 on my car also. I love wide wheels with agressive offsets, as long as it isn't crazy camber, chop up the fenders and homemade body panels lol.

But I feel you man. The general mindset on here is everyone should have $4k ohlins and race ready wheels and tires to go to the store and drop the kids off at school.

Are you rubbing at all? I have a similar setup with NT03s, but running 265/35/18. I was rubbing like crazy on MR\Swift combo. I had to switch to a coilovers for a stiffer ride. Had to roll rear fenders, and still rub every once in awhile.

I have coilovers...the previous owner rolled the fenders but didn't do a very good job...right now it's rubbing a little on hard bumps on left rear but I haven't messed with suspension yet and between me and some friends we ordered a fender roller...I'm going to try to roll it right and maybe a slight pull...

Just know, that a +15 is a total show offset & no way to fit on a stock body EVO. The rear fender metal work would have to be so extensive that it would look horrid

My rears took 8 hours of pro labor to get my 275's to tuck correctly. This set-up is a whopping .59" more outboard than what I run. Thats a huge diff
