I need advice please

I would like to know if I will rub with a 18"x9.5" wheel and 255/35 tires? The wheels are 5Zigen FN01R-C's 35mm offset. The tires are Dunlop Direzza 101's. I am lowered on Tanabe springs. Any input helps and please vote

it's a very strange topic, i see people post that they rub and then i see people say they have similar set ups with no issues i hope this poll clears things up.

i just wanted to let the people that voted yes know that you were incorrect. Wheels are now on and there is no rubbing.

keep in mind this is a very aggressive fitment that will require lots of camber and probably some fender rolling in the rear

Why go so wide and just do a 255 tire? You could do the 8.5 +30, which is a far better fit for the evo, with the 255's and have a better overall setup IMHO

i agree, i should have went with no more than a 9" wide wheel. sometime in the future i would like to go with a wider tire like a 275/35, but this is fine for now.

From: in front of your car
you will be cutting it real close in the rear, but you WILL need wider fenders in the front. get the Varis fenders. i'd see if those wheels come in 18 x 9. even still you will want to get the wider fenders & make sure to get an alignment as well (4 wheel laser). i also would never carry more than 1 passenger after you get your wheels either since the evos max interior capacity is only 820lbs. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE SPACERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
