Evo X wheels and Rolling Fenders??

[tonymontana1204]

Hi, I'm planning on installing my Evo X rims, I will be purchasing Falken AZENIS 225/40/18 for them, and I will be dropping the car on H&R springs, will the fenders need to be rolled with this drop and size tire? Also would 225/40/18 fit the wheels or should I get 245/40/18.

If they do need to be rolled does anyone in the NY/NJ area know of a reputable shop that can do this kind of work.

i hate to be an ass, but the search engine does really work.
use advanced, keywords, show posts... or simply basic search would have gotten you this from the thread just below yours:

Evo wheels will fit...I have some EVO X MR BBS wheels on my MS6 (18x8.5 with 245/40/18) No boring out....Just gotta roll the fenders.

And pics of how they sit:

i do believe it is rear fender roll only, as our fronts are already pretty flat in the inside.
i only had to roll my rears with the stockers pushed out to 40mm offset.

I read the thread after I posted this one, however I was wondering if 225/40/18 would fit on the EVO wheels, or do they need 245s

on that note about tire fitment on the wheels im not too sure. i dont think 225 is wide enough to fit on 8.5 wide wheel without a hefty stretch.
