!!! What are the widest 18" tires that fits stock EVO VIII??? !!!
Can anyone tell me what are the widest 18" tires that fits stock (suspension and untouched fenders) EVO VIII. I dont want to have any rubbing. Can I fit 255/35/18 tires and 18" 9.5J +35 offset rims on that stock EVO VIII without any fender work???Can I go with 265's??? If not, can anyone tell the widest available setup???
I want to go with XXR 502 rims(18/9.5J/+35) and Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta or Nitto Invo tires (255/35/18). Will I need any spacers????

im not sure that that offset will support 265s...but the 255s should fit.
but this also depends on if you are lowered and how much...

i have 18x9.5 +30 with 265/35/18 and had to roll the rear fenders. I'm lowered 1 inch on coilovers. 255's should fit on a 9.5 wheel on stock ride height. I've heard many guys running 255's lowered with no issues of rubbing in the rear.

you should be fine, esp with 255 non lowered. however if ur going with 9.5 wheels then u may need spacers up front.

Its gonna look like complete crap unless you lower the car. I wouldn't even consider big wheels until you get that wheel gap under control.

All tire widths are not the same from tire to tire. I run 255 RT615's(which so many others do too) which are narrow for a 255.
