I'd get some spacers (around 7mm). I have no experience with the particular size, but since you're running 18" wheels and the +45 will make the wheel go into the fender more it is likely that you will run into clearance issues.

Besides, wouldn't it look a little odd? Whiel the diameter will be bigger, the wheel face will be deeper into the car, like WRC cars on snow (although they don't run 18's).

Anyway, if you need to get rid of them, I'm fairly sure they'll fit an ITR or an Sti. They run something like +55 and +48 offsets I think. Wheels for the ITR are specially ba$tard hard to find.

If you can hang with a little rub..go for it. Not a fan of aftermarket wheels on this car. Personally, I wouldnt mess with the EVO's suspension or wheels.....too good as is!

I don't think they will clear unless you use spacers.... if your going to use spacers that are over 5mm, make sure you get longer studs....

+1, very good point that man!
Sure looks like it's not worth it, unless you REALLY like the wheels

if you haven't bought the wheels yet, I say leave them alone or sell them. I would never put a wheel that is only 7.5" wide, just remember our stock enkeis are 17x8. If you want to get 18s get atlease 18x8 and an offset that will clear our brembos....
