No good. The front offset is too high and you don't want to run different widths front and rear...although some racers do run a wider wheel up front then in the rear.

Enkei 18X9.5 38mm offset (front and back)
Dunlop Star spec 275/35 18

Spacers: 20mm spacer in front and none in the back
Mods: Rolled Fender in the rear

I may add a 3mm spacer in the rear because it does rub the trailing arm

Alignment
Front-
Camber: 3.5+
Rear-
Camber:1.8+

It'll rub if you haven't atleast rolled the rears, may need to pull them a bit depending on your ride height and alignment.

I'm no wheel expert, but I wouldn't expect it to clear the front Brembo's without spacers. Generally we need at least +30 offset up front, at least from what I've seen.

wheel offset question

I just got my set of work 11r for my evo9 MR today and i was wondering if i would have any rubbing issues on the front. the wheels that came are 18X8.5 offset 38. im currently running on a set of tein type flex coilovers, and im planning on putting 245/40R18 tires. i also want to know if there would also be rubbing issues on the stock MR bilsteins. i test fitted the front wheel and am a little bit worried that they seem so close to the base of the coilovers and was wondering if 245's wont be wont be an issue. thanks a lot for the help....

Rota Grid or Gforce

Rota Grid 18x9.5 +20, what size of tire would I need to run these with minimal fender rolling?
Rota G-Force 18x9 +30, same question.
I don't want the tires to stick out too much, more flush would be perfect. Dropped on Function Xs coilovers. Any spacers needed? Thanks

Compomotive TH1's.

So i got in touch with the US distributor of Compomotives and I can get a 17x8 TH1 in all most any offset. So my question is: what would be a flush offset for a 17x8 wheel? I was told they make them as low as 15 btw. I need to clear my stock calipers.
