Volk has a pretty unique offset with this wheel. Can any of your wheel experts provide any feedback? I know I will have to roll the fenders but what else will need to happen to accommodate the wheel? What size of tire should I run? Thanks for any help!

275/35/18 would be ideal. IMHO

The guys at Mackin are recommending a 265/35/18. Any reason why you say 275?

^because 265 will look stretched unless you're planning to buy advan neova ad08's. for some reason those ad08's looks wider than my nt05's in 275. Mine even looked stretched so planning on 285 next time or the advans.

You can get away with 265 if its an rs3 as well. But many 275 tires will look stretched on a 10.5 in wide rim so you can imagine how a 265 will look. A 265 will allow you to "fit" the wheel easier on the car but its not ideal for the actual rim itself.

265/35 tires will be most comfortable on 9.5" wide wheels.

275/35 *performance* tires will be most comfortable on 10.5" wheels.

*Performance tires tend to run slightly wider. For an all season set of tires, I believe some run 285/35 on 10.5"

NT05's are performance tires but their 275's are still narrower than the ad08's 265.

275-35 will work but more of a headache. Since that an aggressive offset. Mrdan ran this exact size on his X but with CE's. I believe he was running a 275-35 nt05. I also think goku is running something similar but his offset is +22.

Like everyone said above...Also consider what you are doing with your Evo(ie;Road racing, daily driving, etc..) Everyone is spot on. GL friend

I am running TE37 replica wheels 18x10.5 +20 W/ Nitto Invo 275/35/18 Tires also had to run 3mm spacers on the front and roll my rear fenders. Car rides amazing on my Swift R-Spec springs and OEM Bilstein Shocks.
