I came across a set of 18x9.5 +22 te37. What would all need to be done to fit these on a stock body evo 8? I figure a roll and depending on how low i am a pull. Wondering on camber amounts. I dont want to have a bunch of camber for when i have to swap the slick on the car.

You will need the full rear fender treatment (roll, pull, bumper bolt relocation & a camber set above -1.8).
Please note: This suggestion is for full clearance, not dependent on ride height

below a pic of my old Evo running spec above with all four fenders roll dropped on Tein springs. Rubbed at full lock. Those were 255s all around.

it's a sickness that started back in 2008 Joe..
1st
2nd
3rd
and current..
long story short... 1st I was buying a house so sold it after owning it for 2 years... 2nd, I thought I wanted a X so I got one (was my 3rd)... and I sold the X because I realized the 8/9s were the best Evos. So the current one is and will be my last one.

I wished I had done more research on these forums before buying my 2nd one. Maybe I would of just bought a X GSR instead of MR and kept it. But I love my RS. I doubt I will ever sell it but if I ever do I do not think I will buy another one. Just a lot of work to get one exactly the way you want them...

Yeah I'll probably pass on those wheels then. I don't want to run all the camber and pull the rears just yet. I might be ok with a roll. My little evo don't even have 30,000 miles on it yet and it's a 2004 hahaha. The other options i have were 18x9.5 konig hypergrams +25 clear and I see some people didn't do any fender work (all depending on the ride height obviously) and the second choice is yet another set of rpf1 17x9.5 +38 with a 20mm spacer to clear the front brembos. I just don't know if i want a third set of rpf1.

Of course, the +38's are very friendly to the EvO as that is our OEM offset. But due to the 9.5 width, depending on tire size & rear camber set, a rear roll may be needed

thanks i was going for flush and simple clean. Car is dirty in the pictures since i didn't sleep at my house it got caught in the rain. A buddy said to lower it a little but then ill probably scrape on some of my roads and such and def will need to do rear quarter work
