Not sure which one I should get?
+30 will look best and won't rub with 235/45 or 235/40.
255/40 might be close, but should not rub
+40 might need a small spacer ... avoid it.

Thanks guys... exactly what I wanted to know. I've been trying to get the +30 but having a hard time finding them used. There are a couple of people selling the +40 but I wasn't sure of the fitment. Sticking out a little more is what I want

Thanks

Ok, thanks. If I want to run 18x9.5. What would be a better offset to get? +28 or +22 offset? BTW, does a lower number mean it pushes the wheel out more or towards the fender and higher number more towards the middle of the car?

lower offset = further from the strut and closer to the fender

Okay, thanks.

I just saw a 18x9.5+35 for a Volk TE37. Will that fit the Evo9? I guess fender rolling is a must?

I'm looking to do an 18x9.5 +20 for all 4 and I know I"m gonna have to pull my rears depending on how much tire I wanna run.

I womnder if running these type of width for wheels will mean that I have to run crazy negative camber just to make them fit. I not an expert, but a lot of negative camber can't be all that good right?

It all just depends on how much fender work you do. The more fender work the less camber you have to do.

And yes, camber can be bad. It can negativly effect handling and definately messes up tire wear.

the sizes and offsets are fine but the bolt patterns are wrong. You know the evo pattern is 5x114 right?
