Anyone running these on their Evo? Wondering if they clear the calipers without a spacer.

Note: I had initially listed these wheels as being +38 mm, but they are actually +35 mm.

Update. I called Enkei, and a 4 mm spacer is needed to clear the front caliper.

That's good. You can run a 20mm spacer on that spec wheel and it'll still fit in the front.

Not sure if its a helpful data point but the NT03's with the same exact specs clear with no spacers needed. I know youre asking specifically about the PF01 and of course the spoke designs are different but if youre after a specific width and offset without needing spacers that would be my vote.

With or without a fender roll?

In the front, no.
In the rear, I'm sure it'll fit without a spacer. But still may need a fender roll.

^Correct, front will have plenty of room and the rear with a 255/40 should fit no problem without a roll but anything meatier than that will require a roll. I will admit however that with a 17x9.5 +38 in the rear the rim will actually make some contact and self clearance the trailing arm. I didn't know this at first but one day noticed an interesting find on my trailing arms and upon further inspection of the wheel it was clear what had happened.

These are +35, so maybe they will clear the rear trailing arm with spacers.

Are you guys saying that at the front, a 17x9.5" +31 mm offset with a 255/40-17 will clear without a fender roll? It looks to me like it should work, but curious what you guys think.

Crap.. I was considering the PF because I thought they didn't' need a spacer.

My RPFs did the same. Not a biggie. Sounds like the NT-03 is the way to go. Ugly in that size/offset, but I don't mind.

PF01SS in 17x9" +35 mm does not require a spacer, but its only 9" wide. The 17x9.5" +35 mm PF01 Evo only requires a 4 mm spacer, so its a pretty minor addition.

I've got a set of 17x9.5 +38 NT03 and can confirm they clear the calipers without spacers.

Actually selling them if anyone is interested: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sa...m-w-tires.html

I see you now changed the offset of the wheels but that should as you mentioned help your case in the rear. Honestly I never bothered with a spacer bc after it happened the first time around it fixed itself so it was never an issue. As for the front you'd be surprised how much wheel and tire you can fit. Now of course ride height and camber both will come into play so its hard to compare apples to apples but a 9.5+31 is well within the range of what will work.

Rolling the fronts are actually really tricky to do properly. The rear quarters are steel and are very easy but the fronts being aluminum are extremely brittle and love to crack. I ruined my fenders up front attempting to roll them right as I was finishing up they cracked so I ended up just spacing them out Evodave style.

But once again if youre only going with a 255 on a 9.5" wheel youll be perfectly fine fitting those. Pretty sure they are many folks running an effective +18 offset up front with no issues.
They're great wheels and are stronger than RPF1's so while they do give up in the weight department Id prefer to have a strong wheel that is still pretty light. As for aesthetics, I have a set of 17x9.5 +38 as well as 18x10.5 +30 NT03s and while I will admit that my 18's look better, the 17's in person do still look good.

I run 17x10 +18 with a 255/40r17 NT01 in the front, no rub at 3* of camber. Well, a little bit on the fender liner, but not the fender. Narrower wheel + a narrower street tire + higher offset = will fit fine. Hell, I even run the 18x9.5 +35's and 265/35r18's in my sig with the same 20mm spacer up front and same alignment, doesn't rub.


Pretty much all the fitment issues with these cars arise in the rear, especially when you're only trying to run a 255 or 265 width tire.

Cool. Sounds like the PF01 Evo is a nice viable choice for a 17x9.5" wheel.
