The OEM BBS wheels are 18x8.5 +38.

From what I've seen/researched around here, a safe size for TE37s are 18x9.5 +22 for a Evo 10. Bigger sizes are also available at the cost of messing with your fenders.

18x9.5 +22 all day. all you need is a mild roll in the rear and you'll be good! I'm running 265s too

I had thought most people didn't have to do any fender rolling with 18 x 9.5 +22?

I would love to have 18x10.5 +18 but afraid to do all this fender rolling and ruin the beautiful stock lines on the car. 18x9.5 +22 sounds safer. Plus having it a little sunken in will allow the body work get wind past the wheels without drag.

Does anyone know if they make a 18x10+25 CE28n's?

18x10.5 +22 is the perfect size i think. you might have to roll your fenders but i guarantee it would look perfect.

Exphil's setup , -2 camber in the front so nothing too crazy and not slammed , looks spot on with 18x10.5 +22

Only issue is that the +22 means you are closer to the inboard suspension components. On some coilover setups that's not a big deal but if you drive on race tracks often you might want more negative camber.

Currently with -3.0* front and -2.5* rear camber they wheels tuck in just enough to clear the fenders with a roll. Most of the fender issues are where the plastic rear bumper meets the metal rear fender and I had to do some grinding and adjusting since I'm using 18 x 10.5" +15 wheels with 285/35-18 Hankook R-S3 tires.

I think an 18 x 10.5" +18 would actually be a bit easier to deal with and still give you clearance to the suspension when running higher negative camber values. That is the size that Ryan Gates went with on the 311RS project and I have to agree with his choice.

how about stock Bilstein Suspension? will a 10.5 +22 fit fine without hitting the shocks and struts?

why do people go with 10.5 sized rims. Only thing its going to do is hurt the performance for your car, unless you dont care about that. I was hoping to get 9.0 rims but my buddy gave me a good deal on pf01's that are 9.5. With them being lighter then stock but being 1" wider, it came out to the same weight (with tires mounted)

Its not just wheel size that matters, but tire size and suspension components. Wider tires make it more likely to rub, lowered ride height makes it more likely, etc. You really need to get the entire picture.
