These are the 18×9.5 +20 offset Rota Grids, made specifically for the Evo 8/9/10 crowd and for the owners wanting a lower offset than +38.

Evo X on 18×9.5 +20 Rota Grids in Hyper Black

Owner: evo4g63awd
Wheel Brand: 18×9.5 Rota Grid - Hyper Black (5×114.3/e20/73)
Tire Size: 245/40R18 Advan A13
Suspension: Tanabe Springs
Modifications: None
Comments: Wheel weight ~22 lbs.

We made the +20 offset specifically for the EVO owners, this is a very common size to use on these cars. As you can tell, while just being lowered on Tanabe Springs, the owner did not have to roll the fenders. The car looks great as is with a new set of wheels! Simplicity sometimes is all you ever need. :)
