Too close for me to call with your specified car loading.
But here's how it'd compare to the OE setup with Dunlop Maxx tires using mfr-listed dimensions for each - the outside face of the 265 tire and wheel combination would be about 0.9" (23 mm) closer to the fender metal. Norm |

At the time of the picture I was on stock suspension and had no issues. The offset is +35. I’m now on hks hypermax sp coilovers. I let them on the preset hight and don’t have any issues with it either. |

Aodhan AH08 18x9.5 +30
Wondering if a 18x9.5 et +30 with 245/40/18 will fit on an 18 WRX lowered on RCE yellows. I've been through about 150 pages of this thread and haven't seen any answers. Thanks in advance!

Finally got some new wheels. These are the Aodhan DS06 18x9.5 30mm offsett wrapped in Continental Extreme Contact Sports 265/35. Suspension is HKS hipermax IV GTs. 5 mm spacers on the front to clear the brakes and no spacers on the rear. I did have to adjust the rear hight one full rotation to prevent rubbing but no fender rolling. The goal was to get a meaty race setup and I'm very happy with the results.

Thanks! Two questions; in the pictures it looks like it will rub on bumps, with a 245 tire will that give the wheel a little more room to move up and down without issue? Also will I need a spacer if I don't have brembos? I'm new to wheel fitment, does the 5mm space push it out to a +25 offset or make it a +35? Not sure which way is which. Thanks!

If you don’t have the big brakes in the front there shouldn’t be any issues but that’s my opinion, I’m no expert. |

Thanks for the info! I'm basing what it would look like on my car off the way your rear looks. Also I will have a narrower tire so I'm assuming it will buy me a little extra forgiveness. Thanks again!

My setup is 18x9.5 +38 te37s with 265/35/18 Michelin ps4s and similarly to mellowsubie, I’m on hks hypermax gt iv coilovers and had to raise the rear a couple turns to prevent rubbing on hard dips. My rear camber is -2.5 and I rarely ever have passengers. Btw, no fender mods.

My current setup is 18x9.5 +35 with 265/35 Michelin PS4s. I'm running Racecomp Superstreet-1 Coilovers, -2.7 camber, slightly rolled rear fenders (plus removed the rubberized strip). It rubs on dips mainly, but it even rubs the rear bumper clip! I'm thinking of downsizing the tires to 255/35, hate to keep cutting/digging into the sidewall of these tires, but also hate to throw away all the useful life in them. Will moving down to 255/35 be my best solution?
I'll be swapping back to stocks until I make up my mind |

Works ZR10 18x9.5 +38mm offset with stock tire size setup
Works Emotion series ZR10 Grim Black Diamond.
Ordered from Japan and took me 6 months to get it. 18x9.5 +38mm offset. Stock tire size (245/40/18). Might go with 255/35/18 next time. Last edited by gumi4680; 07-08-2021 at 04:45 PM. |

Hey all, long time without posting!
On a 2018 STi, I am looking to fill the fenders with as much tire as possible without modding the fender or altering alignment to make them fit. Kind of like I did on my 03 WRX, I was running 245/40/17 on 17x8 +48, now with the '18 STi I have much more room to work with I am running the stock suspension and alignment. So my plan is to run 275/35/18 on 18x10 VMR V810 wheels. Now the place where my plan starts to sound weird/unusual is the offset Since the wheel is apparently not available in offset +50 (I was looking for 18x9.5 +50 initially), I realized I can maybe run +58 offset (the next size for that wheel) and switch to 18x10 instead of 18x9.5. I would be very close to the front strut but still clear by about 3mm based on my measurements. As for tire, the tire I am looking to get (Indy 500) does not have a big rubber lip protection like the stock 18'' Dunlops so I should be good (they won't be wider than the wheels). In the rear I see interference with the plastic fender liner material that is loosely covering the shocks. I could live with trimming/modifying that plastic piece to clear. Edit: I obviously also have to verify brake clearance (I'm communicating with VMR to verify the wheel profile vs the brakes). I like to use the willtheyfit calculator to confirm my calculations, it says: 22.1mm closer to the suspension strut The outer rim will poke out 16.1mm more than before. So my main worries are: - Is 3mm enough wheel to strut gap? Is there a significant flex in wheels or struts under load that could make this a problem? - Anyone has experience of what can happen when you go 22.1mm towards the suspension on the rear? The suspension arms are clearly ok, but what about camber increasing while compressing vs the inside/top of the wheel well? Maybe those who went extremely wide (and used the inside part as much as possible) could comment? I'll try to do some more measurement, but I thought I'd ask you guys what you think. I'm searching too, but obviously most of the time people that run wide wheels have relatively low offset (+35 to +45) with camber. I'd looking to retain closer to factory offset, and make use of the inside space as much as possible. Here are the wheels I am looking to get, they weight 20.6 lbs in 18x9.5, I guess they'll be just a bit more in 18x10: https://www.vmrwheels.com/product-page/v810 Last edited by frederik; 07-20-2021 at 11:12 PM. |

My track day set of tires runs under 2.0 mm (wheel and tire)without rubbing even at 1.2 lat g. But it's a rather stretched fitment - 285/35-18 on 18x11 all four corners. Quote:

About the camber in the back, I was referring to the stock geometry of the multi link suspension, the dynamic camber as the suspension compresses. I can pretty easily figure out if things clear at static height by measuring, but I'm not sure how much additional camber the wheel gets as it compresses under load. I'll look some more and measure how much room there is, and might test climbing on something to compress one rear wheel and see how much the upper part of the wheel moves inwards. I remember reading a thread of a guy with his BMW, the was trying to fit very wide tires and was running into all sorts of clearance issues, solving them one at a time. I am not going that extreme, but if you know of a thread like that but for the VA chassis it would be pretty useful, seeing what hits first as you go wide towards the inside. Thanks again! Fred |

There's still some possibility that you might need thin spacers up front based on a 275 tire on 10" wide rims being slightly less stiff laterally than my 285/11" combination.
I've seen a site that might be able to give you what you want for the rear, if I can find it again. It was from a post somewhere here on NASIOC, so I may be able to track it down via post history. It gets into camber gain like you're looking for. Norm |
