18x9.5 +22 Enkei rs05r Fitment

I am looking to buy 18x9.5 +22 Enkei rs05rr for evo 9. I have stock suspension & don't have my fenders rolled. I was wondering if anyone has this fitment that can help guide me with what might have to be done. I've read that its better to run 8.5 but the +35 offset is really close to a stock wheel look. Thanks in advance

I have 17x9.5 +20 on my 9. I had to roll my rears to stop the tires from rubbing when I hit bumps. I'm on coil overs, lowered, as well to give you an idea.

Not sure what look you're going for or if you plan to lower it, but at stock height you shouldn't need to do anything.

255/35R18 is the standard size tire for that wheel size.

If you do lower it, a rear roll is required.

I'm running 18x9.5 +27 and needed a roll+pull. I suspect you might need a roll even at stock suspension height.

18x9.5+35 and 255/35/18 you *might* be able to get away with no rolling but it is going to be close

Heres mine that I got last year. I was lowered on swift spec R’s at the time with stock shocks. Rear fenders were cut but the fronts stayed the same. If youre gonna be on stock springs and shocks you should clear it no prob.

Trying to confirm what the specs are: 18x9.5 +22 running a 255/35 tire?

To get this assembly to clear correctly you will need more than a roll. Rear fender pull & bumper bolt is needed. Try this: disconnect & remove the rear strut. Disconnect the rear sway (one side only). Jack up the rear tire into the well & see if you have clearance (see example pics below)

There is no way you will have clearance w/just a roll. If you plan on running rear passengers & drive the EvO hard, you will need the proper, "No Rub" clearance
