the wheels im looking forward in buying are rota grids 18x9.5 +20

heres a picture of a perfect example of the same wheels

now my concern was that since i am only dropped on springs i dont have the availabilty to run negative camber, is negative camber needed?

and the size tire i have is 255

can you run these with springs? i have H & R Springs

thank you guys! inputs would be nice and generous!

You should be fine. Evos have the ability to run -2 degrees in the front in stock form by flipping the essentric bolts in the front. I recommend getting an alignment for -1.5 to -2 in front, and -1 to -1.5 in the rears, zero out the toe. It should help the fitment to be more flush, and aid in handling.

 

thank you so much chu

anymore inputs?

 

Shouldnt have any problems, ive ran -2 all the way around with no problem on the track.

 

Don't need spacers and definately need fender rolling. And NEED negative camber.....

 

depends on how much your lowered to determine camber, deff need fender rolling though

 

There was recently a thread on this... no issues on stock suspension, rolling in rear required.

 

yes but on a lowered suspension from 1.5-2.3 you would need up to -3.4 chamber and serious fender rolling

 

figured i would add a little more to the topic in case some is searching for this later on...

with a 18x9.5 wheel with offset in the low +20's like the rota grid seems like the common tire width is 255 now what about profile?? some are running 40 while other 35. many companies dont offer a 255/35r18 i personaly would prefer running a 255/40r18 tough, so whats the clearance issues with the slightly taller tire.

the fortune auto rs seems to be happy running his 40 series and it looks great might i add!

 

the 255-35-18 is offered and with the "profile" aka aspect ratio you dont need to roll fenders on a 18x9.5 wheel if slightly lowered. the 40 series is a bit tall IMO but can be done. The 35 series gives you a more aggressive look and gives you options such as the potenza and advan setup for tires. getting aggressive you can run a 275-35-18

 

I just prefer the look of a meatier tire. The stock aspect ratio is 45 I would think that a 40 ratio for an 18 would be ideal not look tall. If anything a 35 would look short requiring a bigger drop to take up the wheel gap

 

depends on the size of the tire, the 255-35 looks like the 235 40 depending on what tire
the 275-35 looks very close to the 235-45

 

i guess it really comes downt to tire brand also,
i was just confused by what you meant by the 35 looking more aggressive? its a smaller tire, i just didnt want to have the car too low in order to get rid of the wheel gap.

 

agreed, ive played with alot of sizes working for a tire retailer, and the 255-35 in a few tires fit the gap nicely
the 275's fill it very nicely and fit near perfect

 

ya 275's are great but with a +20 offset wouldnt work out on a non widend evo.
even with major fender rolling
