Hey welcome

Curious about the EvO photo & the RS model description in your profile? (doesnt match)

In any event, not too many bagged EvO's around but maybe a few in the Stance Thread

Again, welcome aboard & congrats on your first post

Thanks @minusprevios I just found the stances thread.

I just updated my info now. (Ended up holding off on the 04 RS)
But that's my evo 8 at my first show.

Bags are fine, they serve purpose. It's when people do sh!tty cambered fitment that most of us get annoyed because it simply doesn't look good.


An 18x9.5 in the +30 to +35 offset range and a 265/35r18 tire with proper rear fender work will look great. You may need a 5-10mm spacer up front to clear the strut, but you'll have a solid/meaty looking fitment.

thanks @letsgetthisdone

thats exactly what I'm looking for. I'm not interested in camber right now as I still want all the drive-ability of the evo. I live in jersey and the roads here are awful. I got the bags just to make it easier getting around and out of my driveway.

If that's the case I would really stick to a +35 offset, it makes for easy fitment and no rubbing with just a fender roll and maybe a bumper bolt relocate depending on the tire.
