I need some feedback, I am trying to figure out if the following rims will work on a 01 Impreza 2.5RS (2 door/GM). i am trying to figure out if i will have any rubbing issues. keep in mind it will have upgraded hubs (5x114.3) and brembos. here are the rim with tire stats

1st set
18x8.5
+38 offset
tires 245/40/18

2nd set
18x8.5
+50 offset
tires 255/35/18

There's a couple GC guys in the mainland running 17x9's, but with rolled fronts, pulled rears, stretched tires and lots of camber. It can be done, but it won't be easy. I'm pretty sure that 18x8.5 +38 would work, but not with a 245/40.

But you should do what bran said rolled fronts, pulled rears, stretched tires (225/40/18) instead of the 245!
also are you running coilover? that's a must.

I'm running a 17x9 +30 offset with 235/40/17 on my 4dr. rolled and pulled the fenders!

i am leaning towards running BC coils at the moment....I will probably end up selling both sets of rims to find something that will fit better.

what did you do to get your 17x9's to fit? can you post some pics I would like to see how it looks.

Hey jess, I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but what kind of wheels/tires are the 18x8.5's +38, and are they a 5x114?

Brandon they are 5x114 and they are the stock 08 MR rims (BBS). they have the yok advans 245/40/18 on them.

jess on my +44 18x8.5 235/40 i had just a little clearence between my coil and inner tire. i think with that type of offset you won't be able to do it on 245's it will need to be in the lower offsets.

right now i'm running 17x8 +47 on 235/40 and from the looks i may be able to stuff 245/40's under there

I did nothing they cleared with stock suspension. I got coilovers to adjust height and camber better.
I'll post pics when I get home.
