18 x 9.75 +20 is a very aggressive offset for the stock body EVO which always requires rear fender work
Ran your no.s using the 245/35, 245/40, 255/35 & 255/40
Either way, you will be needing the full rear fender treatment (roll, fender pull & likely a bumper bolt re-locate). 9.75" wide wheels are not sanctioned to run a 245 tire so you are at the limits
If youre into the Stance scene then others will tell you to run out of spec camber & use a stretched tire like a 235 or a 245 to get this to fit
This recommendation is running stock rear camber & a no rub fit
Dont get me wrong, +20 can work if you do the proper rear fender treatment & you cant be shy about rolling & pulling the rears
BTW, forgot to mention, you should verify the offset by reading the identifiers on the back of the wheel hub

265/35/18 w/ the +23 wheel = Full rear fender treatment (roll, fender pull & a rear bumper bolt relocate)
255/40/18 = Full rear fender treatment (roll, fender pull & a rear bumper bolt relocate)
255/35/18= Same as above less bumper bolt relocate
+23 is a bit on the wild side so that is why the rear fender work is needed
Note: Recommendation is based on stock camber & no rub fit
Make sure the +23 fits over the calipers w/out spacers !!!

Awesome info. Guess I will have to do some thinking. They only offer that size with the 23 offset. Don't have anything to test fit it either so would be an order then make it fit type deal..
Well, Ran the following for you on the calc.
265/35/18 w/ the +23 wheel = Full rear fender treatment (roll, fender pull & a rear bumper bolt relocate)
255/40/18 = Full rear fender treatment (roll, fender pull & a rear bumper bolt relocate)
255/35/18= Same as above less bumper bolt relocate

i got a 2006 evo and was looking at fitment of the enkei pf01-ev0, i want to fit 18x9.5, I'm drop with no wheel gap, which offset should i get? they come in 0,12, and 22 offset. i don't plan on wheel spacer or rolling fenders, I'm flexible on tire size...

I ran these no.s on the calc (18x9.5 +22 w/a 255/35 tire). You will likely need a rear roll & a rear fender pull. Possible no bumper bolt relocate
Note: This recommendation is running stockish rear camber & a no rub fit
Note: Make sure this wheel can clear the front calipers!

+25 is a very aggressive offset & the 245, although not very wide, in general is wide on an 8" wheel (square shouldered vs stretched)
Yes, you can run that 10mm up front & should be OK w/fitment but expect some liner rub if youre lowered. On stock susp, no problem.

A lot of RPF-01 questions these days.
I have a IX with the rear fender already rolled pretty darn flat and the intended summer setup will be RPF-01 with the following:
- 17x9 +22 RPF-01
- Dunlop Direzza ZII tire in 255/40-17
- Bilsten HD shocks and Swift spec-R springs
Should I anticipate additional fender work to make this fit for track purposes? My research indicates that this might be a bolt-on affair, but am not 100% sure.
