Nice wheels!  
I wouldn’t get the center caps - keep it like that.

Its a standard, but not a normal offset for an evo. Most guys run offset 38 stock to 31 for evo’s. These are 20 offset. Even the place I ordered from told me they wont fit, but I confirmed it elsewhere LOL.

ALSO:

I know evo guys run 18X8.5 at ET+32, so now at ET+20, you have 12mm more backspacing, meaning you could have gotten 18X9 ET+26 on there…

No 9" offered and if you go 9.5" with the same 20 offset, it really sticks out in the front. Other option would be to run a 9.5" staggered 30/20 offset.

25 offset offered in the Kai will not clear the caliper, 25 has the concave face also and hits.

looks good as always… why 8.5" with a crazy offset when you could just run 9" ?

I was going to go with the staggered offset in that wheel but, would have to roll the fenders. Looks good.

stagger on AWD cars is a no-no!

Daily wheels anyways, so not a huge concern or value in it. Also 9" not offered.
