Ok guys, I looked I'll be damned if I can find the answer to this question. I'm sure the answer was right in front of my face at one point or another and I just missed it with all the threads that exist on subjects close to this. So, here it is:

What is the widest 17" or 18" wheel and offset that will fit on an Evo running the factory struts while still allowing to rotate tires, not rub, and not have some goofy offset that makes it torque steer? 9" 9.5"? what and what offset?

I don't mind rolling fenders and massaging fender liners to get clearance and using spacers if I have to.

If there is a thread (and I'm sure there is) that has this info right up front and you don't have to go through page after page to find it a link will work.

Thanks in advance.

 

Nobody knows? Maybe it wasn't that dumb of a question.

 

Well, I know my 17x9+35 rims fit with the stock struts easily.... beyond that I can't give you much help, sorry.

 

My 17x9 with a 38mm offset were VERY tight with 255/40R17 RA1s on the stock struts. There was still more room to go out towards the fender, especially if you rolled the rears.

 

So what is the best offest for a Advan RG that is 18 X 9? I have S-Tech's and want to run a 255/35 tire without rolling the fenders.

Do you have to roll the fenders on all 9" wide wheels with 255's? I just don't want them to stick out far and look retarded.

 

Mid 30s, rolling will depend on the particular tire you use and what your rear camber is.
