Just curious as to how an 18x8 wheel with +35 offset and a meaty tire would look on my 06 WRX.
I was going to go with 18x9 +38 but they just never get the damn rims in.
>.<
I'm not sure what the offset is on my current wheels but I want to be fairly close to flush with the fender but with a meaty tire and aggressive stance that isn't "hellaflush" but looks like it lines up fairly well.
Here is my current 18x7.5 setup. I want to push the wheels out a bit and make it line up a bit. Fill it in, if you will.

Here are the two different wheels I was looking at:

I don't want to pull my fenders though to fit a 10 and I sure as hell don't want to roll like a monster truck height to pull it off either.
The 18x9 seems like the best bet though. A fender roll and a smaller tire should sufffice?
The ESM 004s are the best replicas of the BBS LM I have found and the 5x100 18x9 comes in a +38 offset.
I think that would be a high enough offset that it wouldn't poke so much right?

lol. Only YOU would run 18x11. hahaha.
Yeah. I just emailed the company.
I want the damn 18x9 but they seem to never get those ones in.
JUST got like 20 other sizes but the 5X100 18x9 +38 are the only ones they didn't get in stock.
It's not like I don't have time... I'm just impatient. I want some nice new rims. lol
