I am looking for the best price on a set of these. Not really sure where the best place is to buy. I dont buy rims ever.

My other question is the +38 offset the bad *** offset for the evo? Because that is the only offset listed on the Enkei website.

With the +38 youll need a spacer up front to clear that caliper (from what I remember reading), and depending on tire width you may need a spacer to clear the trailing arm.

But, yes its what you want to run. You need a lot of offset in the rear to clear the fender and having equal f/r will let you rotate.

+38 fits lIke a glove with space to spare over Brembos.
And maintain stock offset for sweet steering while fitting
Wide inexpensive compared to 18"s tires.
Awesome lightweight wheels.

They are out of production. YOU CAN"T GET THEM ANY MORE!! You can get the RPF01 in that size but you will need a 20 MM spacer in the front to clear the calipers.

^ That's odd that you say that, as I just purchased some this week. Perhaps it was left over stock, but it didn't sound like it from the vendors I talked to.

OP, try assaulttech, they gave me the best price and they're always good to deal with.

17x9.5"?

I think evasive has them.

Not true. NT03+m's in 17x9.5 + 38 will fit with no spacers. When using a 255/40 tire, they rub VERY slightly in the front wheel liner. By slightly, I mean that there will be a spot the size of a dime where rubbing can be seen.

I wasn't aware that they are out of production. From a utilitarian standpoint, they are very good wheels. Enkei says that they weigh 20.1lbs/wheel, and they are very strong.

People seem to prefer the looks of the concave look that many of the 18" wheels offer over the convex 17x9.5 + 38. I value an inexpensive 17" wheel greater than a better looking 18" wheel that requires more expensive 18" tires.

HERE are a few pictures of my car with the 17x9.5+38 NT03+m.

Ahh, good to know. I thought I recalled that it was the RPF1's that fit in a 17 without the spacer, guess I was backwards.

Dont both versions in an 18x9.5 +38 need a spacer?

The 17x9.5 +38 RPF1 does require a spacer to clear the front calipers. I seem to recall that some people may be running +15 without a spacer, but I'm not sure.

I don't know that the 18x9.5 comes in a +38. I know that there is a +27, and at least one more maybe two other offsets that people run. IIRC, the only way of running an 18x9.5 NT03+m without spacers is to run different offsets in the front and back.

Here are the FACTS:

17x9.5 +38 NTO3, no spacers
18x9.5 +27 NTO3, 10mm spacers in front
18x9.5 +40 NTO3, 25mm spacers in front

17x9.5 +38 RPF1, 20mm spacers in front
18x9.5 +38 RPF1, 20mm spacers in front
18x9.5 +15 RPF1, no spacers, rear requires rolling/pulling

What about tire sizes?
