Lightbulb Wheel fitment question: Any rubbing issues with 18x8 and jdm pink springs (04 STi)

Considering some 18x8 5x100 Rota Tarmac 3's on my STi. Will I have any issues rubbing with JDM pink springs on stock struts? Thanks!

Wheels shouldn't be a problem, depends on tire size...best bet is check nasioc wheel threads to see fitment

Nah man you shouldn't have any issues at all. You could probably run a 245/45 or a 255/40 with zero issues. I'm running a 17x8 with 245/45 on STI ver8 struts/progress springs with zero rubbing. Stock fenders/camber.

offset is the biggest question for fitment...but if its in the ballpark, you should be absolutely fine with no mods required (tho watch your rears)

i fit 17x9 rims on my 06, just had to shave the rear fenders and I was good to go.

GL!
