What is the highest offset for 18'' wheels that fit on the Evo? I wanted to get some 18 inch wheels and they have a +45 offset.

thanks for the help

 

Well that kinda depends on how much work u want to do. +45 is more of a honda offset you are going to want to go with +35 at least. Not sure if +45 will clear the brakes, but spoke design also plays into it.

So more importantly, what wheels are you trying to put on, then tell us how much work you are willing to do (fender rolling/flares) then we can help you. As of now it is too broad of a question to answer accurately.

 

yea 45 is a bit much.

i run a 40 offset in the rear with my enkei nt03+m's i have my rear's rolled and im using a 5mm spacer.

 

Offset is based on the center of the wheel. Without knowing the wheel width, no one can answer that question.

18x7 ... +45 is ok (aside from the fact that your car will look stupid and handle like ****)
18x8 ... +45 is NOT ok (will probably rub suspension) But a 5-6mm spacer will make it ok
18x9 ... +45 is NOT ok (will definitely rub suspension) Need a 12-15mm spacer

 

Oh and dont run any spacer if you can avoid it. I'd rather have a proper fitting wheel to begin with, but if u dont care then whatever.

 

If he's talking about the 57f's on sale at gruppe-s than I have the same ?

They are 18x8.5's +45 offset

 

I run small spacers on the front with Work Emotion 18 x 9.5 +38. I would rather keep the concave look of the wheels and be able to rotate them, then run a less aggressive offset. The only downside of proper spacers is an increase in scrub radius, which may be negligible depending on suspension setup. The problem with the Evos is that if you get really aggressive with rim fitment, the ideal setup is requires different offsets for front and rear. Then you can't rotate your wheels. Better to run a spacer IMO.

 

18x7.5 inch rims with +35 offset? Will the 7.5 make the brake calipers hit the rims?

thanks
