One, you never go back to me via text. Two, I'm looking for a bit more concave. Thanks

18x8.5 +45 is not concave. You can't go concave on 18" Grids unless you go too wide and too low of an offset for a Subaru.

So first time this has happened. Thought I was in my text messaging dialog box....lol. anyways the actual quote: how about a +42. I've seen a lot of grids 17/18x9 +42 with a very slight offset. Does the 3mm\ 1 inch difference make that big of a diff? I'm not a big fan of the the spokes being level or poking out a bit from the tire edge (outside edge). My perfect wheel is a 5-7 spoke, slight concave, black, 17 or 18, (te37s, grids,)

Grids are TE37 copies. 9" is excessive on a street driven Subaru. 17x9 +42 isn't as bad as an 18x9.5 +38, but I would still recommend staying with something in the range of of the configurations you listed originally.

Interested?

I'm going on a road trip in 3 weeks and I don't want to put those miles on these tires so they'll be coming off before then.

I want to keep the tires though. I have another set of 18's that I can put them on.
