BBS RE deep offset fitment



does anyone know if these wheels will fit an evo without spacers in 18x8.5 in a +24 offset? supposedly the +40 clears, but I found an amazing deal on the +24 (which looks better anyway due to the concave GTR face). after searching, I found that the CH model (which is similar) won't clear the stock brembos so I want to be sure about these before I pull the trigger.

thanks in advance.

in my experience with the brembos on the evo's the "concave look" in wheels usually needs spacers to clear on the front. i know i was pissed when my enkei nt03+m's in a +27 didn't fit without spacers.

Love the look of the wheel though. Would be interested to see it on an Evo.

Alot on Enkei's fit without spacers BUT the have a pretty flat face so if you get crazy with offsets you'll need spacers. Another nice new Enkei wheel that fits is the GTC01 17 and 18 inch sizes.

not really concerned with enkeis...already have a set... which will become my track wheels.

I don't know how long the deal I found on the REs will last so I'm hoping to get confirmation soon on whether they fit or not.

any pics of these wheels in a deep offset would be appreciated as well.

thanks.
LOVE these wheels. i've often wondered the same thing about the offset. i'd just pm Neal @ Tirerack.com. he should be able to answer your question.
