stock brakes yes. brembos maybe would need to see the design
Yeah same as the Evo X rims which I have on mine. They fit fine but slight rub on the rears when I have 5 adults in the car + hit a big bump.
I've just got stock brakes. I've found today rotating my tyres a wheel is buckled. I have a set of spare evo 8 enkei but really want to stay with 18"
I might keep an eye out on some evo forums for evo x wheels if they come up, everything one ebay is ridiculous priced

I've got 17x7.5 38, 225/45 tyres on mine and they're flush on the front, mite get away with spacers on the rear but you would probably need rear guards rolled if lowered with camber fix and wider than 225 tyres
My wheels are 18*8 +30 and fit very flush at the front, and need a tiny bit of camber and a guard roll at the back to go within the guard. If im correct, yours should sit 8mm further in the guards, so you should find it all good
might need a little bit of lowering to tuck the front under the guards.

Hey guys, need a tyre guru, to help me I'm buying some new wheels what's the best tyre option for 18x8.5 +30 and rear 18x9.5 +35 ? 225/40 ? My rear guards have already been rolled will it just need to be pumped ?

Thanks heaps
Anyone using 255 wide tyres? It's for my type v galant with rolled guards and ~20mm pumped. I'm thinking of 255/40/17 on either 8.5" or 9" wide rim. I know Bradc fit 255 wide tyres on 9.5 +38 rims with paper thin clearance to the inner suspension components so lower offset should work better if I can keep it in the wheel arches. Something like 17x8.5 +30 e.g. RPF1's is what I'm guessing should fit but hope to hear from others that may have already tried.

I know of an American using 255's on a 8.5+30. Fits well.
I'd prefer it on a 9 though as they seem a little bulgey. I'm assuming you bought Simons galant?
(And Bradc had 9.5+35, just a fyi)

I've read that they will clear brembos, it's just an example though I'd prefer a more solid rim if I can find one with similar specs.
I'm keen to try it on a 9" rim too for that reason. I'm not sure how true it is but I've heard people talk about mushiness / less responsiveness when pushing the tyre to the size limit that way. Yes I bought Simon's Galant.
