Anyone have pics of the 18x9.5 +38 rpf1's w/8mm spacers for clearing brembos? In particular, I'm looking for pics that show the flushness with the fender to see if it sticks out or not.

2013 sti wheel fitment
Mach help me out pls, I have a 2013 sti hatch, everything is stock except for rce sway bars, Can I run the Enkei PF07 18x9.5 +40 offset on 265/35 R18 BFGoodrich g-force sport comp-2 tires. Would I have to roll the fender and will there be any clearance issues with the strut or whatever? Hoping to get my summer setup ordered soon. Thanks

So even if I was going with 18x8.5 wheels +30 would be a bad idea?
I dont know much about wheel fitment. |

This is an 18x8.5 with a +40 offset with 265/35 tires, so imagine an extra 10mm towards the fenders. There is almost an inch, and this is at basically full compression. |

From a steering response/feel perspective ... not very good. The further out you go from the stock offset the worse the steering feel/response becomes. The +30 offset pushes it out about 23 mm from the stock offset, and then the outer wheel lip is another 1/4 inch further due to the 0.5 inch wider wheels. Are you really set on the wheel design? If not, consider a wider wheel with a lower positive offset. For example, an 18x9, +40. That will only be about 3.65 mm inward than the +30 wheels and the +40 offset won't degrade steering feel as much. Still a good idea to roll. |

Hate to be "that" guy but im buying summer wheels and tires soon for my 2012 sti hatch. Im looking at 18x10.5 wheels. They offer +40 and +20. Im wanting ti stay with stock metal but rolling the fenders doesnt bother me, just dont want to have to pull. Stock height and im looking to run 255/40 or 265/35.
Its also offered in a 18x9.5 with either +35 or +20 Any help is appreciated Last edited by Joe5688; 03-20-2017 at 11:24 AM. |

I have 18x9.5 +38 with 265/35 and they already poke out a few mms. 18x9.5 +40 to +45 would probably be perfect and only need a roll. |

Ok thanks for your help. I wouldnt want more than a few degress of camber. Not looking for crazy flushness just something more aggressive looking than stock.

Coilover Clearance
Quick question for you guys
Recently, I installed tein coilovers and white line adjustable LCAs on my 13 wrx. I'm on the stock wheel with a 245/40/17. Alignment from local shop was good. Yesterday, I tried to lower the car a little and I am having clearance issues on the inside, the tire rubs the coilover. Lifted it back up to previous height. Did I adjust the camber in doing so? Can I not go lower because of the wider tire on the stock wheel/offset? I have a set of WedsSports sa-15R 18x9.5 +48 waiting to go on 265/35/18 Michelin as/3s. Will I have rubbing issues when installing these? I plan on getting another alignment the day I put them on, but need to be able to get to the shop without rubbing my way there. Thanks for the help. |

I assume this is on a sedan? Is the tire hitting the coilover body, or the lower adjustable spring perch?
If hitting the perch, you may need a different wheel offset, narrower perch, or shorter spring with a helper. If hitting the coilover body, your camber likely changed and you need to change it back. As wide as you are planning on going, you may need a shorter spring with a helper. |

It was literally rubbing on the spring. It was fine before I tried to lower it a bit more. I think once I get my weds on, suspension set a right height, and alignment, I'll be fine. Just curious if it is because of the wider tire on the stock wheel/offset. I'm getting the tires put on my weds tomorrow and hopefully an alignment Wednesday morning. Will let y'all know how it goes. |

Sad day

Update: these weds sport sa15r +48 do NOT clear the Tein Flex Z coilovers. It rubs the collar under the front springs. Unfortunately, I am going to have to use a 10mm spacer and longer studs. I'm just hoping that they do not stick out past the fender. |

That basically puts you at 18x9.5 +38. At stock height, the wheels poke out just a little bit on the front, but looks very flush at the rear. Since you are lowered, it will probably be flush with the fender.

What tire pressure do you guys run with the bigger setups? For daily usage, I've read people run the stock 33/32 PSI up to 40/38 PSI.
I have 18x9.5 +38 with 265/35 MPSS and do 35/34 PSI. Any higher and bumps feel very harsh, while the stock 33/32 PSI doesn't give as good of a feedback. |

Sorry. It's a problem with the hosting service, Photobucket. It would be huge work for me to migrate all the photos to a new hosting place, AND then to update all the URLs. Photobucket says they are working to fix the issue.

2011 WRX fitment question
Hi,
I have a 2011 WRX hatchback, I am currently running the stock wheels and stock suspension with an STi brembo kit the previous owner put on the vehicle. I am looking at buying some new wheels soon, a set of Enkei T6S, 18x9.5 +45mm offset. I have been trying to figure out if these will clear my brembos, and I'm not having much luck. I don't want to buy these and then find out they don't clear, so if anyone has any experience with this I'd love to hear it, thanks! Also, will I need to roll my fenders at all? The tires i'm putting on are Hankook Ventus V12 Pros, 235/40/R18 |
