everyone had the TE37s at the last autox but I was most drawn to these Rota knock offs because of the concave face. the evo owner admitted that they where knock offs but he said the TE37s didn't have the concavity like the Rotas. is that true?

so I really dont want to spend hours going to the whole thread trying to find out the information I need.
I found a set of authentic work emotion locally in 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear with 20 mm offset all around.
From what everyone seems to suggest--30mm + for most cases-- I would suspect these wheels will not fit without some modifications. My car is dropped on tein s tech about 1 inch in the front and the rear is about 1/2 an inch drop from stock.

got a weird one for you, i searched but found noth in this offset for the rear:
18x9+40 18x10+50
I know it fits even if that means i have to run 5mm spacers to make it stick out a bit. As for tires,
265/40/18 or is 265/35/18 better for the rear. Car is lowered on JIC coilovers.
and front i guess 255/40/18 will be fine? would it be weird that they are different height than the rear?
thank you all.

255/35 works too just smaller OD than necessary in most applications.
9krpmrx8: If the rim fits in offset/width, has 5x114.3 bolt pattern, at least a 67.1mm bore, and is at least 17" in diameter it should fit. What rim is it?

They are the same as an rx8. Perfect match. Evo websites are great to find/sell lugnuts, spacers, rims, etc. since they share all the same specs. The evo community is huge so you have better chances. Personally I want the 17" evo 8 rims since tires are cheaper, but those are great too.

I have a set of BBS wheels off of a EVO X MR on the way... 18x8.5, offset of +38.
I've been reading a couple of pages on this thread so 'I know it will fit'...but I couldn't find on this thread if spacers are needed?
Please enlighten me with your knowledge. Much appreciated for any comments.
