I just got avid 06’s 18x9.5 +14offset. Tires are 255/35/18. I have raceland coilovers. Was seeing if anyone has ran the same and if they had to roll the fronts. No spacers.
Well, that is a very aggressive low offset, even for the front. Rolling the alum fender is tricky & tougher than the rears. The alum has so much memory to it, its tough to roll. That +14 will work but expect some liner rub at lock positions
The bigger issue is what are you doing about the rears? Running the same +14 offset back there or no?
Yea it is. Im okay with a little rub at full turns. I went with those and called Tenzo to be sure and they said it would work just have to roll if the car is lowered

Running a +14 is a cant do for sure in the rear. You noted a test fit but im sure the ride height is set on the high side?
Try this test. Remove the rear strut & disconnect the rear sway bar. Jack the wheel into the rear well & see what kind of clearance there is (see pic)
Certainly not bashing ya, but im a full tire clearance guy & if this EvO is going to be driven hard on the street / some track work, full clearance is needed!
Anyways, we would like to follow your tire / wheel project so please update the thread w/some pics & your comments after the installation
Heres the type of clearance we are striving for for aggressive driving:
Yeah, from most of us on here you're get told that fitment is a no-go. It's simply not going to fit in the rear without ridiculous camber and lots of fender work.
