Looking for some advice for wheel/tire combos for the roadcourse (i.e. Watkins, VIR, NJMP, Lime Rock, etc..)

Car is Evo X with Eibach springs -

Can I get 18x9.5s to fit without rubbing? and what offset.

Would like to run slicks, too - So any recommendations for them would be good, too...I usually run Dunlops and Hoosiers on my Z06, but not sure if they make proper sizes for the Evo. Worst case scenario would be R888's if they have something that works.

Thanks in advance.

 

Crap...Sorry...Just saw that I posted this in Evo 1-9 Forum. Should be Evo X...Still looking for advice, though...Thanks!

 

18x9.5's are quite tight up front. May need a slight fender roll and/or alignment tweak to make clear. 265/35-18 has been used but with modifications. They will not fit 9.5 ET38-35 wheels as the tire will rub on the suspension. To be safe I would go 255/40-18.

 

I thought the EvoX had much more room for clearance than a VIII/IX?

 

It's slightly better but not by much.

 

I had 18x9.5 +15 RPF1's wrapped in 265/35 Hankook v12's. Slight roll in the rears on Eibach Pro's. Full lock would rub the liner up front, no big deal.

Nice. Thanks!
