Need help! Coils and wheels

Hello. Recently bought my FA 500 coilovers. Lookin for an rpf1 to use but still deciding on specs. I am thinking about going 18x9.5 with 15 offset. I want to run a 245/45 or 255 tires. I want a bit of an aggressive look. Ive done multiple research but havent came to a conclusion. I want to know if anyone has the same set up. And would i need to use spacers, roll my fenders, etc. will appreciate any inputs.

The +15 is just about impossible to fit correctly in the rear. Guys have run this offset but its really considered a "Show wheel" not be used for aggressive driving

Your best offset range for the stock body EvO is around +30 to +38. Let me know if you have other questions

Oh ok thank u. Now i know i really shouldnt get +15. If i get a +38 offset what spacers would i need and do i have to roll fenders? What tires do u recommend to use? Thanks

Hey look

Didnt mean to throw you off track on those +15's. I was coming at ya from a function perspective vs form

Have you reviewed these 2 Enkei threads?
