I hope the mods/Admin will allow this to remain in this section and sticky it, but what i'd like to do is help out all the Evo owners out there that keep wondering what type of wheel will fit their car, offset, fitment over brembo's etc. (yes, i've pinched this from EvoM)
I'd like to keep chat to a minimum (any Q's then PM) so it remains a full informative thread, so for all you people with aftermarket alloys is a little bit of info following this format:
Wheels: type, size, offset, spacers, colour optional Tires: size, brand is optional Arches: Standard? Rolled? Shaved? Aftermarket? Rubbing issues: Does it scrub on lock or if carrying passengers? Brakes: Type & Size
Good pictures of fitment, ie down the side of the car etc but a max of 3 pictures otherwise we'll be inundated with pics for easy viewing.
So i'll start.
Wheels: Ray Volks TE37 Time Attack, 18x8.5" ET30 Tires: 245/40/18 Advan Arches: Standard Rubbing issues: None Brakes: K-sport 356mm
Wheels: RS-Z1 18x9 ET30 Wheelspacer: None Tires: Federal RS-R 255/35-18 Suspension: Öhlins R&T (-3d front and -2d rear camber) Rubbing: None really at the front, just barely touches the inner fender plastic on full lock. Rears rub on the outside with stock arches. Fedners: Not touched in the front, lip folded upward in the rear, not completely flattened to the fender. Still touches the tires in big compressions, like bumps mid hard corner. Or when landing after jumps. Brakes: Standard Brembo's Extra: The center caps do not clear the hubs in the front. At least not with the locking pin bend over the tap.
Can u get those black bola wheels to fit an evo5 , would look awsome on my dandelion yellow mmmm interesting thats me on the hunt again lol damn this thread he he .
Bola b1 just priced these up for a evo 9 £619.00 delivered anyone got any reviews on them?
i was looking at the rota grid drift but these look like them.
Wheels: RS-Z1 18x9.5 ET23 Wheelspacer: None Tires: Hankook Ventus Evo 255/35/18 Suspension: HSD Mono Pros (-2d front and -2d rear camber) Two finger spaces between top of tyre and top of arch Rubbing: None Fedners: Standard Brakes: Standard Brembo's Extra: No issues other than the mud flaps scrape
Would like to ask you, i recently bought bola b1 18x9.5 et30 like you , what tyres your using and if you have any issues on your rear fenders and if your using any suspension and what model or brand u use bro and on what dimensions u set it on front and rear? I have hks suspension on oem factory height dimensions and my tyres now are 245/40/18 , will they fit bola without any problem or fenders issues at rear most? Thinking of using 255/35/18 will they be better but dont want to make any roll to my fenders or maybe with some camber and height at rear i will be okay?
Anyone run the rota torque et30 on a Evo 8 with 255/40/18 tyres
Any rubbing issues? As I see some have the same off set and tyre size with no problems and some have tyres not as wide and have rubbing issues..
Wheels: Rota PWR-RA 18x9.5 et22
Arches: Standard Front and Rear
Rubbing issues: Drivers Rear on hard bumps or fast left hand corners (10mm trim to arch to fix, Yet to do)
Brakes: Standard Brembo's
For those wondering about the Bola B1 wheels and asked about the tyre size, here is my update as I took a punt on them haha!
Wheels: Bola B1 18x9.5 ET30
Arches: Standard
Rubbing: None so far but looks close. Had two people in back without issue but could be issue fully loaded. *Edit* - After a year finally got full car load and it rubbed on rear - badly! (245/40/18 tyres).
Brakes: Standard Brembos. No spacers required for Bolas unlike rotas of same size which is nice.
Types: 245/40/18
*Update* - Got arches rolled no rubbing issue now LOL

Thanks mate. Wasn't sure on the white so took a punt but It works on the ruri blue! Love them now.
Lol maybe they are 9.5 they are the same. I'll double check and edit my post if required.
Cheers. Tyres size in my original post (245/40/18). Make isn't the best but I needed to get these new wheels on quick so I just took a package that came with the wheel. Performance is good in wet and dry for a cheap tyre though.
As far as I know they are 18" only. Note sure you could get the dished look in 17"? Maybe you could...not sure. The nice thing about the 18" bolas is that fit straight on an EVO 7-9 without any spacers or anything.
No idea on lowered height but I'm running Tein lowering springs on standard IX FQ bilsteins - updated pic after the wheels settled and a good wash with decent camera lol

For me my car is purely a weekend summer drive only so doesn't go near a track interms of effecting the handling I'm sure the edge may have been taken off a little over the factory 17" OZ's but not enough for me to worry about.
Your right about getting a rims to suit the Evo I'm on my 5th set now lol
