go with the 9.5 wide. yes this can or rather will have an effect on handling characteristics but most of the guys running in gridlife street modified class run 9.5s, as well as most in any body of racing that allows a 255-275 wide tire will be running 9.5s. check with what class/league you want to race in to be sure of the rules. but switching to a 9.5 will still allow clearance for brakes, pending which you want to run. if you swapped to sti 6 pot brembos i think it's a small spacer on the front for the 18x9.5+38 rpf1 and i'm about 99% sure the 18x10+38 rpf1 clears the 6 pots. the 4 pots require an 8mm spacer for the 9.5+38 and i think a 3mm spacer for the 10+38.

Want to run 275/30R18 tires on my 21' WRX without rolling the fenders. Yes, odd but my mind won't be changed if possible. Anyway, can this be accomplished with an 18x9.5 +50et or does the offset need to be a +55? I want to be lowered as well.
The closest setup I've found is a lowered one running 18x9.5 +45 using 265/35R18's without rolling. |

2019 WRX Set-ups
Hello - New to the forum and would like to see some details and pics of '19 WRXs with wheel/tire set-ups + offsets as well as lowered suspensions. I am personally planning on buying Yellow Speed Racing Dynamic Pro Sport coils, Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires, and Motegi MR131 Tracklite (offset +40) wheels. I've never bought coils before, but don't think I want to deal with fine tuning dampering, so the Yellow Speeds are non-adjustable.
Any pics, info, help would be appreciated. |

So I need a sanity check.
I've got a '21 WRX, stock brakes/suspension. I've been looking at a set of Enkei TS-V 18x8.5 with a 45mm offset. Just going to swap the stock dunlop summer tires onto them when winter is over. From what I can gather I shouldn't run into any clearance issues at all with a setup like this, but thought it was worth double checking to make sure. |

I just pre ordered a set of TE37 SAGA SL M-Spec 18x9.5+39 PB with FACE 4; I shouldn’t have any fitment issues right?

Staying with 19s on my 2020 STi. I already put 245/35/19 performance winters on the stock wheels and now I'm looking at 19x9.5 +38 or +40, probably need a roll since I'm lowered on RCE SS1s, but I can't decide on 255/35/19 or 265/30/19. What's the proper fit?

Curious about fitment of 235/45 17 tires on my '04 WRX. Wheels are 17x7 Prodrive +53. 215 were stock and most run 225, I know. Seems like a stretch but I have the tires from my '20 WRX and don't have a use for em and seems like a cheap way to put new rubber on the '04.

No issues at all Best for gravel dirt are 15's 205/65/15 tires bc theyre dime a dozen for this size wheel its also universally used. Rocks? I'm assuming when ya mention rocks you mean overlanding driving over rocks is not an ideal situation (I'm gonna rule out rock crawling bc wrxs are not known for this altho you probly could if ya really wanted to and that was your goal) unless you're driving at a snails pace and have the right setup, otherwise pointless. Snow, slush you can slap on a set of 3PMSF or dedicated snow rated tires and you should be fine. Ice is a totally different story e.g. rally cars use a specific ice/snow wheel typically a much thinner width like 5 to 5.5" along with studded tires Sent from my SM-F711U using Tapatalk |

None- Currently All Stock I kept breaking hubcaps on the stock 16" steelies. Handling is a noticeable improvement with minor change in speedometer. One rim has slight curb rash- please advise on touch up as Subaru does not make paint for rims. |

Nice to jump back in these forums about a decade later. Been kickin around getting a new set of wheels on my old garage queen. I know the oem wheels are +53, is there a big apperance difference between the 45 offset and 54? Would be nice to run something slightly lower if I can get away with it...but I don't want to bother with something down in the 30's. It appears from research camber plates and rolling would be pretty much required. Thanks for any help! Looking at either a 17x8 setup or an 18x8/8.5 setup.
year: 2007 model: STI wheel model: Advan RGIII wheel size/offset:17x8 45mm. Been emailing with a shop saying that 18x9.5 +40ish will fit just fine but doesn't check out from what I've been reading in here. 18x8 or 8.5 +45 work? tire brand/model: Continental Extreme Contact Force tire size: 245/40/17 or 235/40/18 suspension: Ohlins Fixed Perch Normal setting + Jdm Pink Springs. I believe its a 1" lowering all around alignment: Stock? fender mods: ideally would like to avoid spacers: no Last edited by benbikes4beer; 06-09-2022 at 05:37 PM. |

Hi all, new to the forum but not new in the Subaru community. Excited to learn from the abundance of knowledge and wisdom on the forum!
year: 2021 model: STI wheel model: TE37SL Black Edition ii wheel size/offset: 18x10 +39 tire brand/model: Michelin PS4S/Toyo Proxes Sport tire size: 275/35/18 OR 255/40/18 suspension: Fortune Auto 500 Coils alignment: not too aggressive Fender mods: roll (ideally don't want to pull) spacers: no Originally settled on 265/35/18 as most would run on VA chassis, however after checking OEM diameter on 245/40/18 of 25.7" and 25.8" on 245/35/19, I'd love to get as close to that as possible. Hence, considering 275/35/18 (25.6***8221 and 255/40/18 (26"). I've seen a few members on here running same wheel specs & tires that have made it work (e.g. @skeeter281) but I've also seen others say it wouldn't. Would love input on this matter to help me settle on the tire size for my new summer setup. Thank you! Even more appreciation if you have photos to show!

I have 255/40-18 on my mostly stock '20. I can't remember for the life of me if the wheels are 18x8 or 8.5 They fit fine with no rubbing but do have a bit of poke that kinda bugs me. I should get some photos on here.
