Yeah, w/a 9.5" wheel & the +25 offset, rear fender work is required. Yes, reducing the fender gap will really enhance the look, for sure

Great looking pics for sure. Yeah, we need to level this sled a bit, once you do the rear fender clearancing

Good pic taking

Has anyone run Enkei PF01 18x9.5 +22 or+35? Apparently these are good for clearing Brakes. Can anyone confirm the +35 will clear the front? If not I'd be happy to run +22. Tyre will be a stretched 245/40/18 AD08r as I already ordered them for my previous wheels that I cracked one of them. The PF01 EVO in SBK look tasty.

the 2 offsets you are looking at have two completely looking faces and lips on them. The +22 is the one you are looking at above. They will clear on an Evo X without spacers. But I am not 100% sure on a 8/9. Do some searching on the forum for it or just google search. Or call Enkei directly. Unless someone here chimes in that has ran them in the past.

Think I will go down a different path. 18x9.5 +25 SSR SP5 is on sale for only costing another 500 than the PF01.

Those SSR's are nice looking, just note that they will be tough to fit w/the +25 offet (rear roll & pull will be needed). Depending on tire size, the rear bumper bolt may need to be relocated. Also, the front may not fit over the Brembos w/out a spacer. (few wheels fit w/out a front spacer)

They do look nice for sure!

They look amazing. I will be running a 245/40 because I had already ordered them for 18x8.5. Supplier said this size clears brembos fine as he has supplied to many evos locally. I'll roll rears and raise a little and hopefully not hear scrub too often.

Sounds Good. Make sure you post up some fitment pics & your impressions after the install

Thanks,

Haha level the sled. I was going to drop it maybe a half inch all around see where that leaves me. Haha I'm scared to roll the rears if the paint might crack

Yeah, to properly run the wide wheels & wide rubber, we have to cross that hurdle of not wanting to modify the rear fenders. The paint will likely crack unless extreme care & time is taken. If it does crack, sand & touch-up will correct & will not be seen

Need advice on fitment, Right now I currently use a Hoosier QTP 26x9.5x16 with 22mm spacer in the front and 20mm spacer in the rear to clear my brembos, I'm running a 16x7 Slipstream. I'm thinking on getting the 255x50x16 Hoosier Drag Radial but I'm worried if it will rub, my rears are rolled but not the front, with my current setup I have never rubbed, thanks in advance for your help.

I converted the QTP over to this Metric size = 241/53/16

Just need to know what the offset is on the 16x7 Slipstreams?
