what size tires for Evo's 18x9? I'm thinking about getting some 18"x9"s and wondering if 275/35/R18 will fit all 4 corners?

As long as the offset is correct on the wheels, they will fit fine. Your SS came stock with 275/40/17. OD = 25.6" OD on the 275/35/18s is 25.57" So, they're essentially the exact same size as stock, just a smaller sidewall.

I'm probably not the best suited to help you with offsets. Just stay within the guidelines of the sticky. If the wheels aren't being built to your specs, you'll only be able to run what's available from the manufacturer. Try and find out what the offset on the wheels you want to run is, and someone here will be able to let you know if they'll work.

With a 9" rim you have allot of options.
Depends on if you want them to ride closer to the outer lip witch gives it a meaner stance or in the middle like stock (56), or to the inside more for what ever reason. With a 9" rim you can go 36mm (way out) to 60mm offset (way in) from what I can tell. Probably your best bet would be 50 to 56.
Don’t forget the sticky wheel chart is not gospel just a helpful guide.
All cars are different. Any problems or mistakes arising from said chart is solely the responsibility of the wheel buyer and not that of one said wheel chart designer.
