JDM Flush - 18x9.5 +15s :)
 

I had posted in another thread that I'd tried out the 18x9.5s on my car.

My friend who actually owns the wheels decided to purchase an Evo 9 SE a couple of months ago and wanted to use this fitment for STREET and TRACK. He decided to fitted a set of 245/40 Azenis RT-615s. After rolling the rear fender and doing a slight pull, this set up does NOT RUB AT ALL when lowered to the fender line! This is not a garage queen - he will be running the car at Thunderhill this week and probably be at many up coming track days as well.

So to everyone who said it couldn't be done with bigger rubber :lol: - Here it is. Clean and no need for ugly body kits.

On to the pics!

looking good!!

looks awesome!

Why run a 9.5 rim and only use 245's? What is the point?

that is SICK

Exactly my question..

Oh my god, beautiful!

If you have ever run on Azenis RT-615 you'd know that they run VERY WIDE. A 245 RT is probably like 260 in another tire.

that setup actually looks kinda weird

i run 255/35 on 18x9 and i have more contact patch.

I wouldn't say THATTT wide but they do look wider than other tires the same size.

Hey man, can we get some wallpaper size pics please?

Hmm, Falkens website has this tire measuring 9.8 inches, Toyo T1R's in the same size are 9.6 inches. Falken 265/35/18 are 10.7 inches and T1R's in the same size are 10.5 inches. Never seen a 260 width.

Looks sick! I love those wheels!

that looks great! love the black SE.

Nice wheels (mirrors too!)
