I've read every thread I can find and I see so many varying answers it's bugging the hell out of me.
I M looking at a set of 18x10.5 +12 and I want to know simply whether or not these can be fit on an Evo 8 I know that I will need to roll the fenders my biggest concern is hacking the rear fenders since I don't want to go with wide body rears.

Please let me know what my options are before I buy em.

 

you will need to pull the fenders also. a lot

 

Ok I'm still a little lost as to what pulling is I know the concept but all these threads don't really show anything. What kind of process is "pulling" I've rolled fenders before myself but never pulled

When you actually start pushing the limits of tire on any car, no one can get you all the way there. That will be up to you to figure out how to get it 100%.

18x9.5" with 285's are figured out pretty well, but going to a 10 or 11" wide wheel on the same tire will add more complications. You'll run into strut clearance, both front and rear of fender well clearance, fender lip, inner fender wall rub at steering limits, etc. And that's just the front.

Camber (from hub and strut), caster (offset bushing and strut top), offset, brake clearance, etc. all have cumulative effects. So we cant really say what will 100% work for you. But you can search what has worked for others and expect that it wont always work out the same for you and will require some extra massaging you weren't expecting.

 

+12 is outside the range of what can be made to fit on a stock body EVO. Add the 10.5 & youre really outside the range

10.5" rims need a much higher offset usually above +35

Pulling the rears is more like pushing actually, using a hand pump porta-pwr placed inside the rear fender well. It will usually leave a tell tale light crease depending on how much the fender is pushed out

Certainly not for the faint of heart

 

what wheels are you trying to run?? to be honest some rear fender pulls dont look to bad. ive been contemplating the idea of running 18x10.5 +22 all around. Im in the hunt for some r34 fender flares like the zomaya evo had before the widebody
