I am planning on getting some rims for the Evo. I heard that 18x8.5 with an offset of +35 is just right. But others say +30. So which one is right. Also what is the bolt pattern? :skid:

5x114.3 is the bolt pattern. I would lean more towards the +35.

It all depends on the spoke design of that particular wheel. Generally in 8.5 width, if you stay within +28mm to +35mm, they will clear the front Brembo calipers.
I am running 18x9s +35mm offset and have no issues.

Most JDM wheels in EVO offset are between +28-+38. It all depends on the spoke design.

Below is a short list of popular wheels in EVO fitment:

Advan RCIIs 18x8.5 +31mm
Advan RG 18x8.5 +31mm
Advan TCIIs 18x8.5 +31mm

Volk TE37K 18x8.5 +30mm
Volk SE37K 18x8.5 +30mm
Volk CE28N 18x8.5 +30mm

Let me know if you guys need to check on specs of other wheels.

oh yeah $2100 for a set of SE37Ks in 18x8.5 is definitely an awesome deal! I say snatch that up!!! :)

CE28Ns 17x8.5 +30mm is $540 MSRP. We are offering 20% off of MSRP on all volk racing wheels. Stock Advan tires will fit without any problems. :)
Or you can go with 245/45/17s as well.

Thanks,

i noticed that also. they have many wheels that others don't have available for our Evos??? don't want to end up with a set of wheels at my doorstep that i have to send back.
