I will pay you to roll/pull my fenders. The car is an 05 sti, I'm on coilovers, rims are 18x9.5 22+ on 255/40 tires. We can do it at my house. Again I'll pay you to do the work and gas. I live in salinas but have family in Watsonville and Santa Cruz so we can maybe do it closer to you if your from the SJ area. Thank you in advance. -CBSubie

My buddy Son Vo is great with fender work! His number is (408) 568-5094 tell him Brendan sent you. He rolled all 4 of my fenders on my subie, and 4 on my old civic. no complaints and very decent cost. located in milpitas

You're not going to be able to get those tires to fit in the fenders. 225s yes, 255s no.

I'm trying to avoid a stretched tire. Would 225s be stretching? Would 225/35/18 be better?

225's would definitely be a stretch. It's a 9.5" wide wheel.

255's would be closer to ideal but I'm not even sure you can fit that without an EXTREME pull if at all. If they can fit with the pull, its going to be tough and you are going to risk messing up your paint since its a hefty pull. You may have to go with fender flares at that point
