Okay I apologize, but i did read it and he said he doesn't recommend a +25 or a +30 offset and that a +40 offset will work give or take a couple mm. So a +35 is right in the middle of working and what he doesn't recommend. So that is why I asked and I wanted to make sure that I had no issues with rubbing. So I'm sorry that I wanted to double check before i go and spend $1000 on rims and tires. Like I said that was my first post so clearly I don't really know what I'm doing. So there is no need to get mad. I also stated I know very little about wheels and tires, so I don't know what effects tire size. Next time I will do A little bit more reading before I post something. sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you Reese.

Yeah that was just a rough estimate. But with the rims I want it will be right around $1500.

^^^this. I run 255/40 on my 17x9 and it's perfect. But 255/35 would be the tour for an 18x9 I would run.

The 2015 wrx are now that size as well where as the older wrx are 17x8 55 offset and 5x100 bolt pattern. So maybe he was referencing that? Nonetheless you can fit an 18x9 +42 with no issue if you were going wider |

Has anyone tried putting taller tires on the 2011+ WRX?
I'm thinking... now that I have the slightly taller king springs on (King "standard height") I have a bit more wheel gap. I'm thinking that instead of going to a 9.5" wheel, to only move up to an 8.5" and then go with a slightly taller tire to fill some of the gap. Thoughts? 25.3" is the stock diameter, how large do you think I could go with a 235-245 width tire? I'm thinking of using an 18x8.5 +48 wheel.
