The lower the offset the further the wheel sits out....
So if I wanted to run 18X10.5 +15 what kind of modification would I need ot run on fenders for it fit? Spacers?

I shall once again rock a set of TE's!!! Just a matter of finding the right color. I had white 16's on my H22A powered Accord in the early 2000's, and then a set gunmental 15's on my JDM B18C-R powered EJ6 hatch in the mid 2000's, so it only makes sense that I get another set in the early 2010's. I'm thinking black would look good on a graphite gray IX. Anyone have any other color recommendations/suggestions?

depending on what size of tire you go with,suspension set up, and how low the car will be. I personally think that this offset is way too low for an Evo 8/9 with stock fenders. Especially with the 10.5 inch rim. I had CE28Ns 18x9.5 +15 and even with alot of negative camber, The wheels stick way out. You would have to do a good amount of work on the fenders. Mine were rolled flat and pulled 1/4 of an inch. I ran a conservative 245/35/18.

the X on the thread is running 19x10.5 +22. Looks quite nice. And its quite aggressive. Archies X has a good amount of work done to get them to fit.

19s on an 8 or 9.... they look funny and way too big IMO and I can't see them being too functional.

I wish Ray's made the TE in 18X9.5 +20. Rota makes their knock off in that size and its the perfect fit between aggressive and fitting under stock wheels.

I may end up with another se tof Rota's if I can't get a set of wheels to fit the way I like without it sticking to far out or not aggressive enough.

LOL... 2 mm will hardly make a difference ... just buy a 3 mm spacer... if you really want the Volks. With a spacer that small you don't need to change the lugs on the car either
