Are you a wheel manufacturer or just a reseller? I might have a custom wheel project for you, if you can to customs.

No I did not say that

The 18x9.5 +20 model does clear Evo 8/9 Brembo calipers without the need for spacers. What I was saying is that we won't make a higher offset on the 18x9.5 model as anything higher than +24 on this mold will contact the caliper (the higher the offset the further in towards the center of the car the wheel will be).

We are a reseller however we are the largest Rota reseller and we work direct with the manufacture. We do influence new designs and often do custom orders (if there is enough interest). If you have something in mind definiately shoot me a PM and we can discuss it. We won't do a one off set though, it would have to be a large production batch.

So the 18x9.5+20 fit with the evo 8 calipers,

What about front/rear fender rolling with what tires?

I'm seriously considering selling my volks for these in gold. I want 9.5" though...

18x9.5 +20 does fit with Evo 8/9 calipers and will not require a spacer. This fitment is very aggressive though and will require rolled fenders, overall fitment will depend on your tire size/alignment/ride height.
