Konig Hypergram Question
https://www.discounttire.com/buy-whe...ergram/p/47833
Hey guys, just wanting to get confirmation that these wheels would fit with any issues with my Evo 8. Think any spacers would be required? I wouldn't think so, but hey, that's why I'm here to ask. Currently running Rota D2 18x9 ET30 w/245/40/18 tires that I'll likely transfer over to these wheels. Been wanting to get a different wheel for a while and liked these and the price. Any input would be appreciated, thanks. |
The wheel youre looking at is very modest in size & offset (18 x 8.5 +35)
Should have no issues running those 245/40 tires. No rolling required The only issue is, its very likely going to need a front spacer. What size, is a guess unless you can do a test fit or find another soul who has installed them & knows |
Konig builds these wheels for brake clearance. I doubt you'll need a spacer. You can always call them and ask.

bump will the hypergrams in 18x9.5 +35 clear the X brembos?
|
The 18x10.5 +25's had room for dayyyyysss. I think someone else on here is running the 9.5 +35. Konig designs the for caliper clearance, I'm sure you're good to go.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/mo...-wheels-2.html the 18x9.5 +25s seem close based on the thread above, not sure if they'll have 10mm to give extra clearance to calipers. |
Then run a 10mm spacer in the front :). You'll need to anyways for a 265/35r18 to clear the strut with a 35 offset wheel.

i'll have to check caliper clearance as you said though. no response from konig. when it gets closer to time i'll just have to visit a shop that stocks them and check the clearance |
Wheels ordered today, pics to come :D

Rear wheel, 18x8.5 et35, no spacer https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.evo...1372cba362.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.evo...b57b1a8d40.jpg Unfortunately fronts did not fit, will need 5mm spacer https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.evo...ba027cc9a6.jpg Rota D2 18x9.0 et30, 25.6lbs https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.evo...caa2523eb4.jpg Konig Hypergram 18x8.5 et35, 18.0lbs, saving over 7lbs per wheel from old setup! |
looks great. shame they didn't fit without a spacer. wonder if the 18x9.5 +35 will need a spacer, +25 is too aggressive

5mm spacers on the fronts So wheels are on, spacers on the front, and I'm very happy with how the car looks and feels. Can definetley tell a difference with the weight loss. My only concern now is the count of full turns I get with my lug nuts. I've read online that 5mm is safe on the stock studs, but I'm only getting a hair over 4 full turns torqued down. Do I need to get extended studs? I wanna be safe and say I should , input? |
