A lot of things to consider!

Let me know if you come up w/another wheel / tire idea
I called enkei today and the TS10'S will fit without any spacers on both front and rear, but I'd like to fill the wheel wells out a little more. Would like 17x9s, want to run 255/40 17s and fill out the wheel wells as much as I can without using spacers.

Open to rolling the rear fenders. I like how the ts10's look, just wish they were more concave.

Depending on the offset, yes, the 255/40's are the gold standard size to run & will fill the well.

The 255/40 is the beginning to the wide tire for the EVO

I'd love to főt the 265's but I doubt a 17x10 would fit in a +35 offset

Yeah, that is tough to fit. The most concerning thing would be the +35 offset. Its would likely be too close to the lower control arm

On the outboard side, it would work just fine, provding you roll, pull & relocate the bumper bolt

Remember, I run a similar spec. 275/40/17 on a 17x9.5 +30 but I had the rear fender work clearanced

Nice, that's a lot of tire.

Little update, going to get her on some of that E85 goodness March 9th.
30psi, 20g/10.5,272s, E85, should be fun.

Welcome and excited to see your car on E85!!
From personal experience it makes wonderful difference but the fuel mileage gets to the lower teens.
I get better fuel mileage in my diesel 3/4 ton hahaha
But evo is so much more fun!

I'm not really worried about fuel mileage. Cost per mile comes out about even for 93 octane for me with E85 being slightly cheaper. So it's basically a no brainer lol
