Hi,
I'm just wondering if a 18" 9j et15 would fir an evo 8?

hi yes I have 18/9.5 rota grids et 30 on mine

Et30 is 15mm different to et15
I wouldn't of thought the 15's will fit. Et25-35 is ideal for Evo also a lot depends on tyre size

What tyres size is advisable for this wheel? I just bought it now.
Would the brembo calipers be ok or will it stick out too much.
I'm running billstein shocks with lowering springs.

I had et30 18x9 but had a 3m spacer up front

The et15 will not fit.

you can try them but don't think they will work

Will it touch the calipers? Would rolling the arches do the job?

what wheels are they ?
arches will be the issue and yes rolling will help

It's like rota grid?

 

[B6lee]

Like these ?

No, its rota grid. what size tyres would you or anyone recommend for 18x9 et15?

Just read somewhere else that someone had 18x9.5 et20 on there car and had to drop to a 225/35 tyre so they didn't rub the arches. Yours are gonna stick out another 5mm further than that.
Also said the car handles like a pig

This came today.
Done a full service today just need to buy the right tyres and a spigot rings.
I also test fitted the wheel to see how far it sticks out and it looks like I will have to roll the arches, therefore can someone kindly suggest what tyres I will need and what spigot ring. The hub is 74.1 if this helps.
