So, I have 18x9.5 Rota Grids on the way and wanted to know what size tire I should go with? My thoughts as of right now are 245/40/18. I have a 2011 WRX sedan. I just need tire size recommendations. I am going for nice tire and wheel fitment.

 

Suspension setup?

 

Perrin 25mm Sway Bars, Kartboy Endlinks, ISC Coilovers and of course the Rota Grids.

 

Those Grids aren't exactly a good fitment on Subarus. They are too aggressive. But certainly 245s are way too small. What is your tire budget? What are you looking at already? And what do you want out of the tire?

 

Don't have a specific brand yet just looking for tire sizes right now.

 

265/35/18

 

wow, that is huge!

 

You have a 9.5" wheel, that's what size belongs on them. The 245s you wanted belong on 8-8.5" wheels.

 

Oh ok, I had some Privats same size with 225 40 18 on them and they were slightly stretched.

 

watch the OP will end up going with 245s anyway. just like the suspension thread that he post

 

Yeah, yeah, really looking at this one.

 

what are you running on your STI?

 

gtfo

 

225s are a huge stretch. Those belong on 7.5" wheels.

 

I ran 255/35/18 on 18x9.5 +38 it wasn't hella meaty but It was alright. Has bc coils rolled front and rear and didnt rub
