How well does 285s fit? I would think some mods will be needed. Right now I'm stock body panels.

Like Budda! 285/30R18's are slightly smaller than stock diameter. They are pretty much the only tire run on any Evo in BSP or SM.

The right offset and you can fit them on 10's with some fender rolling. I've seen on 9.5's with little issue.

I'm looking at RPF1s. 18x10 or 9.5 with a higher offset and spacers would be my best bet. I was planning on running 17s. how much camber are we talking to make these work? right now im on -2.5 fr 1.5 rear.

I just got a set of rpf1s

18x10.5 in front and 18x10 in the rear. It should fit with the proper application of wheel studs & spacers, fender rolling, etc...

I can't wait to get them on the car.

Mike (smoking), I love how your adventure has been so useful to so many people. You've learned just a ton by prepping that sucker for FP!!!
