By the way your X is lookin real good.

Haha, thanks thanks. I have the shop rolled my rear fender a little, and that is about it, nothing much. X can fit up to 10 or I saw people put in 10.5 before, so I think 9.5 is kind of a good fit. Then set camber at -2 for all 4 corners, it runs good.

18x10 +35 fits fine but what baffles me is that why some vendors are pushing these wheels to their customers? yeah they fit alright, but they look absolutely wack on EVO X. And thats the truth!

werd. 18x9.5 +22 on my 9 was semi-aggressive..

..on the evo x, it looks straight *****...

sold em.. Calvin, can you get BBS Japan???

This thread is awesome, but I got a question:

Since your tires stick out further then stock, how's the paint damage on your rear doors and rocker panel?

I have been dying to see these on the X. They look fantastic. My favorite wheel by far.

Add protective tapes such as Clear-bra to protect those area.
