They would likely fit, but be about 5mm inward compared to stock which already have that sunken battleship look. Your Inner clearance to the suspension would drop from 13mm to 8mm so unless the tires used were extremely oversized it should still work. Getting 15-25mm spacers would likely reverse that quite well but the farther out you push them the more likely fender rolling will be needed.

Sorry, I'm a newb and I was just wondering what is the most aggressive wheel size and offset that you can put on the Evo X GSR without having to roll the fenders?

Ok, found the thread. Sorry! haha

No problem on the inside, but I personally think the outside will rub with stock camber settings. (BTW, I did not double check to see if the NT03+M needed the spacer for the 9.5 or 10.5 fitment or both. I will try to find it).

Why not select the many wheels available without the use of a spacer? If you are set on 9.5, ET22-35 is the "safe" range, with 25-30 being a perfect centered fit. The Nittos are limited to 245 and 275. Why not buy the R888 in 255 or 265?
So, would 18x9.5 +12 be out of the question?

18x9.5 ET26

Quote:
18X9.5 ET27 +24/+2 (Enkei NT03-M: need spacer to clear front brakes)
18X9.5 ET25 +26/0
So it's just the NT03-M that needs the spacer? Can brake clearance be determined from the spec's alone, or is it a matter of throwing the wheel on and seeing if it clears? I'm looking to get a set of wheels in 18x9.5 ET26 and want to make sure I'm not going to run into fitment issues.

Did anyone istall 17" on EVO X? I think of using 17" for winter.
I tried TE37 17*8.5 with offset 30 - it doesn't fit, but seems like with offset 20-22 it should fit.
ADVAN GR-II 17*9.5 with offset 22 fits the caliper, but will probably contact with outside fender, so probably 17*8.5 should fit.

Do the BBS MR wheels have the same offset as the GSR wheels? If not, what is the BBS offset? And that offset is +38 correct?

Yes, I have a IX and want to put X BBS MR Wheels on it!

What is the widest tire/rim combo that would give me the most traction at the track? I plan to get a GSR with coilovers.

Don't know if this has been posted elsewhere but i found this awesome wheel size/ tire size calculator where you can compare two sizes. I've found it quite useful in helping figure out my final setup.You can find it here. Mods please move or disregard if it's posted somewhere else. Thanks
