And when you say up front i will be ok... it seems to me as if my fronts poke out more than the rears? And what would you say a good size in the rota grid is suppose to be then? As after all my research i stupidly got et20 18x9.5





Bare in mind thats a normal front wheel not a rota





Front pokes out more?
bro is not stupidly, i was going to make the same setup and still i will make the same setup even that i came a cross your post , people on the internet made this setup so easy and they race not just showcase their car , just pull , roll and wide front fender you will be fine , even if fabrication needed i will do it

If you have other questions, let us know

There's many different possibilities depending on: How much roll? How much of a pull? How much rear camber? How much tire?

That post you made on guessing which wheel, would be tough to fit: That set-up looks like a: 18x9.5 +22 w/a 245/35 tire

Would like to see you go no more than a: 18x9.5 +27 running a 265/35 or 40 tire

is so hard to make your car look aggressive and to look like some evos you see on the web , like the guy who want to fit the +20 offset , he has to sell them now ! weird , but the thing is i will buy the same size and offset , and if needs i will fabricate , cut and weld to fit them but not sure about brembos clearance

Yes, they do look good, but its likely they have the following: Stretched 245's / more than -2 degrees of rear camber, likely there is some rear rub involved

These +20 to +25 offsets are "Show" offsets & are not that functional. And that is OK, as long as that is understood.

If you drive aggressively & even track your EvO, those wheels will not work well

Pull a wheel, and there will be a stamp, something like this

thanks man , will do, once i know i will update you ,
what you think if i lowered my car more from the front only

Dont lower too much. The fronts will always look higher than the rear due to the fenders. I would say maybe 1/4" (6.35mm) front & rear

10.5 +10

I am intend to get 7Twenty style 46 R18 10.5 +10 for Voltex kit. I know that offset +12-15 is ok for Voltex. Do you have any suggestion about +10?

Sounds like you are wondering if a 18x10.5 +10 will work with a Voltex over fenders?

I am not the right guy to offer good fitment advice for over fenders, but I recommend going through this thread to see what other members are running
