So Im looking at rims that are available for sale now on the threads, since there are the 18x9.5" RFP1's for sale..

What does it take to fit an 05 STI with an aggressive ofset of +35 and 9 or 9.5" wide rims,..and what tire sizes are recommended?
Suspension is currently JIC coilovers and what tire size is recommended?
My favorite look are the Rota Grids in 18x9.5 +35 if I may need to order from the mainland...

I searched threads here and on Nasioc and it led me more to the threads with pics...I cant get a definite "how to" as some get by with pulling and/or rolling fenders only...Some people are suggesting spacers..

how low of an offset can one go without modding the fenders? And does anyone else have rims/tires to sell in 5 x 114.5?

 

you will need to roll the fenders to fit that size rim. For the tire size its more of a personal preference thing. you can stretch 225s on a 9.5 inch rim if you want that look or you could go wider.

 

why dont you PM wheelwhore hellaflush bran808? burt also had some agressive fitment rims on his sti...try pm him also...

 

I dont think Burt has any rims, and though Bran808 sold all his stuff now that he sold his wagon...

Best deal for me is if anyone is selling the most aggressive setup that would fit on without any modification with coilovers....is 18x8.5 the widest one can go and with 255's the widest tire?

 

pm jess (4080wrx). he was the previous owner of the advans (18X8.5 +50) that perky808 has for sale. they were on his 05 before getting t-boned.

I'm currently running 18x9.5 +38 Rota Grids as my race setup with 285/30/18 tires. I haven't rolled my fenders and I have no rubbing issues. However...this is a race setup...I won't be running these on the street as my my set of tires. It is possible, but not optimal without some modifications to your car (rolling fenders, etc.). Like Doll said earlier...PM Bran808...he can help you out.

 

I'm running 18x8.5 enkei GTC01 with +35 offset and on stock suspension. I had to roll the rear. The tires were 245/40/18 if I went with a smaller sidewall i think it wouldn't of rubbed. Still rubs inside the fender if I'm loaded in the back.

 

Im trying to pick up Perry's rims and tires from Jess's 05....
Saw them the other day and they look good,..hopefully they will fit fine on the suspension that's on the car now which are JIC coilovers...Front is lower than the rear right now by the looks of it.....
