I’m running 255/50/18 on 8” wheels with +45 offset. Slight rubbing driver side front. Slight rubbing inner wheel well back but not too bad. Didn’t roll fenders and haven’t needed too.
Likely going to a 255/40/18 when I get new tires just to give a little more space and get closer to stock diameter. Steering controls feel pretty good though.

Hey guys need some advice.
I'm running 18x9 + 40 wheels and lowered on cusco coilovers with 245/40/18 tires I want to get a decent amount of camber without having to roll guards. What are my options as I don't like the idea of rolling rear guards. I prefer to keep it all original if possible. Currently it clears with -2.5 in rear camber & -2.0 camber at the front. No rub I prefer to have it the less camber in the rear if possible -1.8 camber to eliminate under steer. Is there anyway to do this without rolling rears? Will lower profile tires work 245/35/18? or smaller width tire 235/40/18? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Last edited by obsessionz; 11-13-2020 at 07:25 PM. |

Hey all looking at a set of Konig Rennform wheel 18x9 +38mm. It seems these will fit my 2012 wrx with possible minor fender rolling. Can anyone confirm? Thanks

I am hoping someone can help me solve an issue with our 2011 wrx.
We bought new wheels (18x9.5 +38) and tires (255 35 18). While this may not have been an optimal choice, it is what we have... Issue: during hard turns out under load the rear tires scrape on the fender. What are our options (other than changing wheels/tires)? -Fender rolling? If so, any suggestion around Putnam, NY? -Coilovers? Anything less expensive? Thanks in advance! |

Will it fit!?
Super late to this thread but that's typically how it goes I guess. I have a 2013 WRX sedan and am looking to get some new wheels and tires. The wheels I'm looking at are 18x9.5 +25, I saw your comment about going down in offset to compensate for rubbing would +25 offset be too little for a 9.5 wide wheel? Currently on stock suspension but looking to get some coilovers in the near future. Would I need to roll my fenders aswell once I get my coilovers on? Thanks in advance!

Hoping for some help. I've read through most of this, and checked Fitment Industries gallery, and I believe that I should be able to get the wheel/tire combo I'm looking at for my 2014 Hatch:
Enkei TS-5: 18x9.5 +45 Tires: 255 40 18 I know I'll need to get fenders rolled and am prepared to do so. 2 questions.... 1) just wanted to get an opinion on if my understanding here is correct and that this wheel/tire combo will fit 2) Was planning on throwing Blizzaks on my stock wheels for a winter tire setup. Anyone see an issue there? If no, what size tire should I be looking for? I know a lot of people will size down the wheel an inch on a winter setup but hoping to avoid buying 2 sets of wheels if I dont need to! |

Tires 235/50R17 on WRX 2011
I need help.
I have a WRX 2011 hatchback, I use the original wheels with 235/45/R17 tires. I have problems in my garage, the car scrapes a little at the entrance, I was wondering if putting a 235/50/R17 tire could alleviate the problem. Would this measure raise the car's height a little in relation to the ground? Or would this tire profile (50) bring me fitting problems? Thanks Fred |

Hi guys will 18x9.5 +45 on a 245/40/18 tyre fit without rolling rear guards? If so how much rear camber will I need to run to clear? Lowered on coilovers.

Hey guys,
I can confirm the below sizes fit without rolling rear guards and lowered on coilover suspension. SETUP 1 18x9+40 on 245/40/18 running -2.5 camber at rear to clear SETUP 2 18x9.5 on 245/35/18 running -2.0 camber at rear These sizes are probably the max width specs you can go any lower offsets you will need to roll rear guards. |

2013 Gr Fitment Help
Hi Guys, tried to find it in this thread but I may have missed it and would really appreciate the advice.
What is the most aggressive fitment I can achieve without spacers and having to roll or pull my fenders? Looking to get as flush as I can with a 2inch drop on 18" possibly 245 or 255s. Was originally looking at at 18x10 +30 offset on 255s but was told that wouldn't work so super open to suggestions. Thanks in advance |

Secondly, there is enough information in this thread that you should be able to get a very good idea of what is going to work. Read it carefully. Read it again. Answers are here. Dan Mach V FastWRX.com |

First time poster here but I've been reading this thread religiously and want someone to confirm my thoughts before I take the leap. (Everything I currently have is stock except for wheels/tyres).
Was planning on getting rpf1s 18x8.5 +40 and wrapping them in Michelin PS4s 245/40/18. As far as I understand, these will fit without rubbing in the back (having that issue now with the wheel/tyre combo from the previous owner). Am I correct in thinking this? Alternatively, I could get rpf1s 17x9 +45 and wrap them in Michelin PS4s (245/45/17?). Would these be suitable for no rubbing too? I guess my main questions are: Would either of these options rub at all? Need no modification? Which setup offers better response and driving experience to the driver (me) and looks more aggressive? I apologise if I missed a similar question that's already been asked, I did a search and on top of that there are a lot of pages. I just really don't want rubbing Last edited by SpoicyBinch; 11-29-2021 at 03:50 AM. |

18x9.5x 45mm and a 255x35x18? 2014 Hatch. It looks like above you suggested maybe a 245/40/18 with a similar wheel setup would work too without rubbing. Just confirming that I'm reading correctly. Thanks! |

Would 17” 8.5” wide +35 fit a 2014 hatch? Can’t get the wheels in a 9” or 9.5” wide cause the offset is still +35. And I don’t think they’d fit that way. I know they’re really close to oem wheels being 17” but I like how low the car is with 17s. Thank you!

That's 20mm less offset than the stock wheel, meaning those wheels will that much closer to the fender. You haven't talked about tires, but assuming something like a 245/40R17, that should be pretty flush to the fenders.

Thank you
Great thread. Finally upgraded wheels on my daily13’wrx to Wedsport SA-10r in 18x8.5 with +45. Summer super sports at 245/40r18 are not nearly as wide as many go but the look and cornering is immediately appreciated, filling the fenders much better than stick with absolutely no modification needed. I know this thread was aimed at more extreme mods but was extremely helpful in my process.

Hello all! Trying to decide between 2 sizes of wheels.
2009 STi Hatch 1: 18x8.5 +35 with a 245 40R tire 2: 18x9.5 +30 with a 265 40 or 35R tire I would rather not cut my fenders but i don't mind rolling them. I have done measuring and the 9.5" wheel looks like it would be close but I see some online running that size without issue. Also something I am learning about is how much the offset affects the wheel bearing. Any advice or direction is welcomed. Thanks! |

Sorry in advance
I'm getting so pissed off trying to navigate this right now so before I throw more parts at this I need to know if someone can help with a knock I've been having for way too long or if someone can link me a good thread for this question. I have a 2011 wrx and the knock only occurs when I'm driving forward, accelerating or coasting doesn't matter, if there's rough spots in the road it sounds like my ball joint or sway link is knocking. I've replaced both of them though, as well as the wheel bearing and brake calipers because it will stop knocking when I brake or go in reverse. With the window rolled down near a building it sounds like there's a loose nut about to rattle off. But sounds nothing like that inside windows up. Doesn't matter if the wheel goes up or down it sounds like a racket over stones. No affect to steering and handling that I can see. The strut bearing looks brand new, I'm guessing engine mounts or the strut itself but I feel like I would notice an engine mount more. Though it likes to shutter when it's cold and I set off from a dead stop so maybe but it doesn't make that sound then and why would it sound so different outside the car. springs are fine I think and the strut still works but I'm about to go insane if I leave the radio off and I don't like always driving with it on but I cannot stand it. Again sorry for this question here, just found the most recent I could
