You are nuts!! Im running 18x9 +50 and 255/35's in the rear and Im rubbing with stock fenders. I cant imagine 9.5" and +30 offset. Apparently 245's on a 9" +50 wheel will clear any rubbing issues. You will definitely have a difficult time without a full roll and a slight pull with that.

The tires are fine, the wheels are not. Prepare to mutilate your car to make them work right.

Sell Evo wheels, buy S2000 wheels.

people on here talk out their asses with no actual experience running sizes like these. those are NOT hard to fit, even on a slammed s2k. if youre really low id prob run a 215/45 on the front. The rear will fit with a 245/40 with a roll/relocate, and the fronts will fit with a roll, and some decent camber on front and rear as well. Im currently rolling on a 9 +35 in the front with a 215/45 tucking tire with no rubbing issues, the rears im thinking about stepping up to a 10".

Offsets in the 20s are tough on our cars...I would stick more to a high 30 or somewhere in the 40s. I am running a 255 on a 9 +45 rear wheel and it is pretty flush with the rear. A 9.5 +22 would stick out a lot.

You would have to pull the fenders out to make those fit.
