check out this thread https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=257651

Mine are coming in this week +20 front/+30 rear, and I have 245/40/18 tires (one set of Falken RT 615's and one set of Kumho MX's) waiting for them. This fitment will be stretched a little, but I won't have to roll the fenders, even with my drop.

Most people get 255/35/18 but you definitely have to roll the rear fenders if you want to avoid rubbing with this setup and your springs.

Good luck and post pics!!!

im still trying to decide if i should run +20 front +30 back but cant rotate but also won t need spacers in front

or + 30 all around with having 10 mm spacers front with extended studs but will be able to rotate

what do you guys suggest oh yeah

255/35/18 with tanabe springs will fit maybe minor fender rolling

hey boosting.. i say go +20 all around. the back will stick out a bit more, but with the evos wish bone suspension in the rear, the wheels will tuck in a bit with a drop. all just preference in looks if you ask me. i personally like wheels that sit a bit beyond flush with a good drop plus with our tire wear i think being able to rotate the tires is a big plus, plus personally i don't really like the idea of spacers.

looks like i'll be going 255's.. i hear only rear fender rolling is needed with +20s
