18x8.5+30

CE28SL:

18x9.5+22
18x10.5+15

CE28 Club Racer II Black Edition:
18x8.5+35
18x9.5+22
18x10.5+15

thanks, but any confirmed fitment of the CE28N , 18x8.5+35 ?
I would most likely run 5mm spacers to get a flush fitment.

Hey! Would really appreciate some help or advice on selecting specs for work vsxx rims on my ix. I'm looking at the following as an idea:

F 18x10 + 22 R disk
R 18x10 + 22 O disk

Would this set up require spacers and heavy body work? Or just a roll and no spacers?

I've seen X with similar specs so thought it might be similar with the IX.

I would consider x9.5 too. I ran s1R on my VIII that I had before the IX with no issues with x 9.5 and the rest of the same specs. Was wondering if this would be a safe bet too. Appreciate the help in advance

Hi Mario / Welcome aboard @MarioIX

Hope you dont mind but moved your thread here. Hey, honestly 18x10's can be done for sure but the offset needs to be more like +38 & rear fender work is certainly needed (we have a thread on this spec if you want?). The +22 offset certainly will not fit a stock CT9A rear end. This would be more of a wide body setup. Even at the 9.5" width the +22 offset is going to make it tough to fit unless youre willing to do the full rear fender rework (roll, pull, out of spec neg camber & some other tricks)

Let me know what your appetite is for rear fender work or if you have another wheel spec in mind?

Cheers, Joe

MarioIX

Hey Joe,

Thanks this is helpful to consider. I want to avoid a paint job. So a roll and pull would be alright. I had
S1R
18 x 9.5 +24 (O disk) rear
18 x 9.5 + 20 (R disk) front

With not too much work. Do you think it would be same in principle with the VSXX (x10)?

Making sure i understand, your EvO is already fitted for a +24 / 9.5" in the rear? If so, which tire size? And what suspension (lowered)?

And yes, the general size of the VSXX in a 18x9.5 +24 would be similar in spec to the S1R except for the spoke design but i guess at the +20 front offset both wheels would clear the caliper w/out the need for a spacer

MarioIX

Ye so the spoke design is totally different so that makes me nervous. I ran 235/40/18 nitto rubber.

Well, the +20 up front may not be an issue w/the calipers but i cant confirm that unless you know of others that run that wheel spec. The +20 (up front) is super aggressive & really should clear the caliper but running a front spacer on a +20 would not be recommended

The +24 in the rear running that 235 may work w/out any rear fender work but i suspect a rear roll may be needed. Anyway, i think its best to forgo the orig question of the 18x10 +22

Any other questions, let me know

ok so I'm back on the new wheel mission since I seem to buy multiple wheels and spend a bunch of money and cant find the right fit, so any input would be amazing

so now the set i ordered is work emotion cr kiwami 18x9.5 +20 bronze finally came in , my only problem is I feel like they poke out to much not sure if its because there's no tires on them just seems like it
i haven't installed tires on them just test fitted them. is there a better offset to run that works or do i need to maybe run a not so wide of a wheel I just want a clean look. nothing that's overly poking out etc. looking for all feedback on offsets and sizes that will work because I'm failing on buying wheels. also I have the upgraded rear arms from ssb designs so i have plenty of room back there. unless with tires not on them it just seems like its poking out I'm not sure.


the wheels I'm running currently are rotas with 17x9.5 +25 and they fit great just cant seem to find the right set of new wheels and offset in 18s that will fit great

Hey, nice home shop for sure! The issue is a combination of the 9.5" width coupled w/the +20. +20 on a 9.5" is very, very aggressive on the rear CT9A fender well. They can be fitted, but expect the full rear mod (roll, fender pull, bumper bolt & maybe the elimination of the rear splash guards (are you Ok w/doing that?). No doubt those Works wheels will look super nice once properly fitted

Also what tire were you planning on running? Maybe a 255/35 or going to more of the extreme 255 /40 series. Anything wider is really going to mean more rear fender work IMHO

Regarding the front, the +20 will be OK but expect the usual front liner rub at lock positions. Assuming the +20 clears the calipers as i would expect

Boostindsm22

thank you, ya the front doesn't look to bad with the +20 I was thinking about ordering 2 wheels +30 for the rear will that work better ? I was gunna run Michelin PS4 255/35/18 and yes the +20 definitely clears brakes etc. in front

VeebeeIX

I am running +20 front and +30 rear on Rota Grids, 18x9.5.
255/35/18s.
​rear sits flush, and just have fender roll and pull.
no touching etc.

The fronts do poke out a bit but doesn't look bad,
I do have OE style carbon fenders though, they do sit maybe 2-3mm wider than OEM fenders.

VeebeeIX

Boostindsm22

that looks good ya I'm thinking i just order 2 wheels +30 for the rear and maybe adjust camber in front

Oh, for sure the +30 is a better choice. But depending on tire size choice, expect rear fender work as noted above. I too run a 9.5" +30 wheel running 265's & my rear fenders needed the full treatment (roll, pull, bumper bolt & other little tricks)
