Who's STi is this?

Need to ask some questions about the tire/rim/fender/spring set up because I'm getting the same thing.

Or if someone can't tell me what's the tire size on these rims. The rims are 18x8.5 so I was thinking 235/40/18? It's a Michelin but what type?

That's Mike's, mdelosrey here on i-Club. His ride is wicked; subtle and tasteful yet practical and powerful.

does he have rolled rear fenders? I'm a noob at this tire stuff.

Would I rub with Eibach Lowering springs if I has those tires?

And how do you tell of your rear fender is rolled?

I run 255's and have a lowered ride via coilovers and my fenders arent rolled. The dude looks like he's on Pilot sports, AKA $250 a tire,

thanks for helping me out.

Tires are Michelin PS2's. 255/35/R18
Rims are Spec-C RA-R 18x8.5 +53
Spring setup is Racecomp Engineering T2's

NO rubbing but that's because the car isn't low. You can run wider than 235's. The way its setup can actually swallow 265's.

thank you sir

I'm getting Rota gravels and the offset on those is +44. Is that more headroom for the tires?

No, it's less. You're moving the wheel farther out with a lower offset (9mm, so about 3/8, and 05-07 STi's already have more space in the rear fenders- you will need to roll the fenders on a 5x100 car.
