There is a menu for available cars. A small fee (currently $2.99) buys you lifetime access but you may be able to work the demo enough to at least get an idea. Norm |

Ok, so like many others, I've scoured the thread trying to be sure of fitment before I pull the trigger on my wheels for my 2018 WRX base.
I want 18" Work Vsxx. I'm leaning towards 9.5 +38 offset, but willing to change to prevent rubbing/issues As far as tires, I'm leaning towards 265/35. I like the way the wider tire looks, and I'd like to have a wider tire to give the rim a little more protection as well as a little more sidewall height for comfort and protection. From everything I can read, 18x9.5 +38 seems to be pretty standard with 265/35 being the widest without any issues. I'm currently on stock suspension but was leaning towards RCE yellows in the future. My main question is does anyone have any experience with this setup? I don't want to do any fender mods or coil overs. I've seen some people say the 265 will rub, and even some say they run it on springs with no rubbing. I'm in the Chicago area so if anyone knows a good shop, I'm willing to take it to a pro. Thanks for any help in advance |

Completely stock suspension. I'm trying to get in touch with a Subaru expert alignment shop (not the dealer, for performance) to see if I can add enough negative camber in the rear to fix it without ruining the handling. West End Alignment in Torrence, CA was recommended to me, but they're in the middle of moving their shop. I move back to Indiana in December and there's no shops in my home town that are even catered to performance alignments that I'm aware of. I'd like to get it taken care of when I'm here. |

There's a guy located in Brea who does great fender work and is pretty well known on Instagram. I went to him a few years ago and he got me taken care of. Assuming you are only moderately lowered (or not lowered at all and not completely slammed, all you'll need is to shave the inside of the rear fenders. No heat or rolling/pulling necessary. Just thought I would throw it out there, I know most people are hesitant to get their fenders rolled because there is a high margin for error if the person doing it is inexperienced but in this case it's just a shave and much harder to botch. |

Are there anyone running 265/35R18 with wheels +45 offset in normal driving conditions have any issues with their fenders? Looking at wheel-it-fit, it looks like it shouldn't have any issues with any suspension compression.

You didn't mention wheel width...if you are doing the common 18x9.5 then I don't think you will have any problem, especially at stock height. The 265 is wider than stock but slightly shorter as well.

Ah sorry about that. Completely slip off my mind but yes, 18x9.5.
I'm just a bit worried about big bumps/dips, hard cornering and heavy car loads (Probably the heaviest load I will be putting are wheels and tires) due to the fact there's not a lot of information regarding with that setup. I've read mixed results on +35/+38 so some what concerned (Like above). Guess I'll do a leap of faith and hope for the best that I don't have to do any rolling or camber adjustments. |

The Mach V crucial is a +42 offset and pretty popular on the VA chassis with no fitment issues. If you are really worried, you could run a totally different spec all together. I decided to run 18x9 +40 on stock tires. Car is lowered on springs and I have never rubbed or scrapped anything ever. |

I've already plotted up a comparison between 265/35-18 on 9.5" ET +45 vs 245/40-18 on 8.5" ET +55. I am assuming that the 18" OE tire and wheel sizes didn't change between 2019 and 2021.
Strut-side clearance is within about 1/8" of OE (a non-issue). The extra width is almost all on the outside, where the outer face of the wheel and the outer sidewall sit about 7/8" further out (your call). Hope this helps. Norm |

Thanks. I usually try to stay as close as stock specifications. I was a bit iffy on +38 but +45 gives me a peace of mind. I haven't taken a proper look at 18x9 so that may be a viable option. I might do lowering springs and new struts (RCE Blacks/GTWORX) but that's pretty far off.
