Hey everyone I have the cosmic blue evo x. And now im looking at wheels. I want a clean flush look no fender rolling either. Have been looking at the rota grid and varstoen 2.2 . Cant decide if I want bronze or a satin black color. Also trying to decide which offset is best for 18x9.5 . Would appreciate your opinions thanks

 

Hey man, check out these two sticky threads. Lots of good info in there about sizes, offset, fitment, etc, etc.

bronze wheel will look good on black, white and red cars. i will take black wheel for blue cars.
18x9.5 offset 15 should be the best fitment. if you lower your car, it will even look better.

 

I have 18 X 9.5 with 22 offset. I know the Rotas come with 20 or 22. 22 is very flush. I have 275/35 and it rubs in the rear very slightly. Does not cut, just rubs. I can't hear it (unless very high speed sweeper), I just see the little smear marks on the edge of the wear shoulder. 265/35 will probably be fine on a 22. With a 15 offset...I don't know, but thats another 1/4 inch over the 22's. That is more than the difference between 265 and 275 tires, so I bet you would be at least in the same boat as me, just slightly worse.

Right now, for me, I see no reason to roll. I can live with this. Unless I track the car, the cons overweigh the pros (of rolling).

 

Are you lowered and what camber are you running?

 

On a 9.5" go with a +15 to +22 offset, +22 if you want to be a little more conservative. If you are worried about fender work, run a 245 size and you will most likely be fine. I have no rubbing issues and im lowered ~1.5"

 

I have gram lights 5 7 dr in 18x9.5 +22 offset with 245 which stretch the tires a little bit and I'm lowered on springs and no rubbing occurs, my buddy is running 265 and no rubbing either so it all depends on what look you want.

 

I am OEM height, and just got an alignment from the dealer. Stock as you can be. I am not going to change this. I am about performance, not show and shine.
