Iv done my research and know that rpf1s
17x9.5 + 18 fit perfect in the front
And +38 fit perfect in the rear
And that most people just run +38 all around with 20mm spacers up front.

But could I just run +18 up front and +38 in the rear and still have the wheels look the same as far as the lip/backspacing? Or would the fronts have a different look compared to the rears?

Idc about the rotating issues that accompany this setup, just wondering if it would work.

Thanks

 

Yes it would work but they will look a little different. The +18 will have the lug nuts more recessed in where as the +38 will have them stick out closer to the face of the rim

 

the spokes are also flat on the +18 and they are not on the+38

 

Ugh. I was hoping you wouldn't say that lol. Guess I'm doomed to run +38 with 20mm spacers up front.

Thanks guys

 

The 18 inch +38 has flat spokes if you want to consider that..........

 

Does the +18 not fit on the rear? Sorry I'm an evo x guy and that's pretty much the perfect offset for the x but I'm looking to purchase an evo 8/9 soon so I wanna learn more about the set ups that will fit on them.

 

im running +15 with -2.5 camber and rolled rears. still rubs on dips when im going fast. doesnt rub on hard cornering but im not as low as alot of people (1 finger gap)

Also any more then 3 people in the car is a no no for me. hahah planning on getting a different set of wheels wih a higher offset in the future. if u plan on wide body kit then its not a problem. or else your gonna have problems getting +17 to fit

 

How is it possible to run +15 in the rear lol

Iv always read that you needed a minimum of +35 to make the rears fit without major rear quarter panel modification.

 

major mod in the rear so it doesnt rub. I think if i cut the fenders and pulled them out alittle it would work but im not down to cut them up. You could probaly make +22 work with some work. Ive seen alot of people do them on the TE37 thread.

here are some better pics to show you how it sits. still pops out of the fender just a tad even with the rolled fenders

It looks great but ehh that's a little too much work for me atm just to fit wheels lol

 

dont like rolling rear guards on evo. sometimes they turn out other times the buckle
