Default HP Wheel question...

...I'm looking to get the R5's here soon (not the Evo's) with 18's on the front and 19's on the rear. My question is I can get the 18's in 8 or 9in wide. I've seen people with the Evo's get the 8in wide, will the 9in wide fit right with the offset they come in or do I need to get the 8's for the front??? Rears will be 9.5in wide. Thanks!

The 9 inch wide evo's fit fine in front...Not sure if the R5's are a different offset or not?

Thanks, I kind of figured it would fit and look okay, but wanted to make sure before I ordered them.

I have only seen the R5's in 8" width. Also the bolt pattern will be 5x120. They are more a universal rim. I suggest getting some hub centric rings for added protection to take care of that extra .65. I dont have the hub centric rings yet and have had no problems. And they come in the same offsets as the Evo's.
