Alright guys heres pics of my car as requested. Just to restate the specs so people dont have to scroll around to find it.
17x9 +17 Offset (yes, there rota grids, +42 offset with a 25mm spacer = +17) with the factory WRX dunlop 235/45/17 tire. My fenders are rolled front and rear. The rear is unbelievably close but it give me the stance and look I want. Car is on Tein Coilovers as well. Personally I love how it sits so much. The wheels do poke and hopefully you can get a reference of how much poke there actually is. I think it looks awesome because the stretched tire brings it all together. Doesnt have a meaty tire poking out which I think looks goofy. Hope this helps you guys figure out what you want or dont want! Enjoy

I don't know....... You might be able to get the fender a little closer to the tire!
in all seriousness, I can appreciate the look you are going for. Although I wouldn't be able to make it out of my driveway without tearing that entire front end off. |

looks pretty darn good actually. for those specific grids (17x9), would the +35 have more concavity than the +42? if it makes no difference, i might as well just get the +42 since it would fit my brembos and i could possibly stuff wider tires while im at it.

Does anyone know if a 18x9.5 +40 wheel with a 265/35/18 tire will have clearance issues with the front struts? I'm also lowered on Blacks.

Thank god, I've been panicking because my coils haven't arrived yet, but my wheels/tires did. I guess I'll see tomorrow.

Well got everything on. They rubbed like CRAZY before I got the roll. It was actually pretty scary. Anyone know of a good way to clean off the peeling tire?

Did your emergency braking suffer at all from the extra rotating mass?.. With factory tires I feel that it's too easy to lock them up and our abs feels kinda lackluster.. |

Thanks for the help in advance I'm thinking about some Advan ad08s on Volk VR G2s 245/40/18x9.5+43 for a 2012 sti hatch and was wondering if I would need to roll the rears? I know that stock tire size doesn't normally require a roll but the ad08s run pretty wide/square and the 9.5s might contribute a little width too... Suspension is currently stock but I will probably be switching to gtworx/rce yellows in the future.

If you're running 9.5's you're pretty much gonna have to roll your fenders
