Confirmed fit on Evo 8:
18x9.5 +27mm Enkei NT03+M
265/35/18 BF Goodrich R1’s and Hankook Ventus RS2
Lowered and fenders rolled, but probably didn't need to.

+15 is fine in front if you are running as much camber as you should be (unless you're drag racing).
Rear will require rolling and possibly some pull with a 255.
Not all 255's are the same width. It's a size, not a measurement. Kind of like shoes, not every size 9 fits me the same.

So I have done multiple searches and can't find much on the 18x9 Rpf1s. I know:
18x8.5" +30mm fit with no spacers
18x9 +35mm ?????
18x9.5" +38mm need 20mm spacer up front to clear calipers
can someone enlighten me on the 9" wide rims, i.e. what size spacer to clear the calipers? I don't see any post about them. It obviously isn't popular, or I just suck at finding the info.

Check that for a general idea on tire and sizes and offsets.
Can anyone answer my question just above?

Lots of questions on this thread.... but few answers. At least for my needs.
Where else can you get wheel/tire size clearance info on EvoM ??
I'm looking to fit 285 tires on 18x10 or 10.5" wheels with stock, rolled fenders.
Is that do-able??
If so, would that be a staggered offset, front & rear?
