18×9.75 Wheels on a 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
10 documented builds
Show me evidence about using this wheel size on this exact vehicle year. Documented Modified1 builds are observed use — not universal fit confirmation, not a safe offset range, and not a no-rub guarantee.
Evidence summary
Documented builds: 10
Observed range in our build database: ET10 to ET20
Most frequently documented tire: 255/40R18 (3 builds)
Axle context: In our build database: 10 as part of a staggered setup; 9 front-only for this size; 1 with this size on both axles. Rear-only or front-only counts are not treated as square.
Compared with OEM
OEM baseline used for geometry: 18×8.5 ET38
Width vs OEM: +1.25 in
Outer edge 33.9 mm farther toward fender (more outward poke)
Inner edge 2.1 mm farther from suspension (more inner clearance)
Geometry uses the most frequently documented offset when available. It does not mean the wheel “fits” or “will clear.”
Counts include only builds where offset is actually recorded. Missing offsets are not treated as ET0. Linked offsets meet the size+offset evidence threshold.
