I'm awful with numbers and can't figure out wheels/tires. Please help.

I have a Final Edition X that is completely stock except an aftermarket clutch. I use it as a daily driver. In the winter I put Blizzaks on and then I switch to summer tires around May.

I'd like to buy a set of TE37s with pilot sport cup 2's but for the life of me I can't figure out the measurements etc. I thought it would just be here are the TE37s that fit a stock X and these are the tires that go with it.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful.

You can try 18x9.5 with +15 or +22 offset iirc. For tires depends on you but try 255/35r18 or 265/35r18 . Hope this helps

So something like this for the wheels

Would these tires fit on those wheels?

It would fit but may look a bit more sunken in, which is fine unless you plan to roll the rears.

what is causing that to be sunken in?

The offset combined with the width of the tires

Compared to my 10.5 + 15 you're sitting 19.7mm inboard
compared to my 10.5 + 25 you'll be sitting 9.7mm inboard

It's not a lot but 1-2 cm, unless you plan to roll the rears.

I'll caveat this with my rears are rolled.

I'm running 18x10.5 + 15 on 265/35/18 tires

I can also run 18x10.5 + 25 on 265/35/18 tires without being rolled.

I am also lowered, and I use my Evo in amateur time attack.

Tires used
Pirelli Trofeo R
Advan A052

As a point of reference I’m running TE37V MKII 18x10.5 +15 squared (all around) with 275/30/18 Bridgestone RE71RS. Rears require rolling.

You could get away with a little more aggressive camber and slight rolling with Whiteline Rear adjustable lower control arms.

Another thing to keep in mind is Not all tire widths are the same depending on the shape of the tire.

I wouldn't daily sport cup 2's. Especially in a stock car.

I'd call up or email the place selling you wheels and have the sales guys do the groundwork. I did that with Oakos over in the US and the hooked me up.

I had trouble figuring out what wheels fit my car and even ordered a couple sets that didn't fit before I landed on the wheels I have.

https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/ This works & gives a good idea of suitability every time.

18x9.5 +15 245/45 will be okay ( I run this currently with a light rear roll for peace of mind ) 18x10.5 +22 265/40 will need a light roll but still okay.

When I’m doubt use https://www.willtheyfit.com/ For tire size and stretch calculators.

Evo needs 35 or more offset, if you are buying rim with less you will need spacers. OEM offset is 38

Unless you roll the fenders. I have 10.5 inch with +15 offset and they fit fine without spacers.

Damn all my prayers getting answered tonight and its not even my post. Im going tim shopping now as i was under impression that i needed +35 and they are very hard to come by in the affordable and 10.5 range. Thanks guys

Runs fine +22 with no spacers lmao

Hell yeah thanks for the info. My friend had trouble with advan rims running 22 offset he kept blowing tires. No way to tell if it was the offset that caused it but they would not fit up without spacers so maybe its dependent on rim design as well, idk. I run stock rims. And am always told to run +35 on a 10.5 if i do upgrade.
