Hey, I just picked up a set of 18" wheels and am looking to wrap them in some new rubber. Thought I'd see if anyone has a complete set before hittin up the tire CO's.

Also, does anyone have any suggestions on what tire size I should run on my new wheels? Any input would be appreciated! I have a 2011 wrx on stock height. I have an 18x9.5 set up.

I'm on 18x8.5 with 235/40/18s. I'd say go 245/40 or wider.

i run 245 40's i got the minor stretch yet moar meat as wanted. 235's ideal should you slam your car and need that extra clearance. other than that, id say at stock height, stay above 245. id sell you my fresh set of eagle gts had i not just bought them and still need them

depends on what you want for your car and what you plan to do... i run a 18x9.5 with a 225 because my car is fairly lower...personally with stock height a 245 is going to look better then a 235...thats just my 2 cents

Thanks for the reply guys! I'm probably going to stay at stock height for a bit so probably will stick with the recommended 245+. Looking for a full set though!
