Need some help on fitment

Hello all. I have an opportunity to buy a set of enkei Raijin wheels in 18x19.5 +35 and are curious to see if they'll work on my stock suspension evo x? Anyone familiar with that setup? Thanks in advance.

+35 is probably going to require a spacer.

+15 would be the better fit.

By my calculation, he's going to need a 254mm spacer to get those 18x19.5 +35s to fit. And before you say that said spacers would have to be custom made and would probably be very expensive, let me point out that their price is going to nothing compared to the custom-made 545/18/18s that he or she will want to wrap around them.

With that said, the car will have a boat-load of grip. It won't be able to turn (in fact, you will not be able to turn the steering wheel at all) and will snap wheel-bearings faster than a Kardashian can file for divorce, but it will have grip.

Or did I miss the point?
