Red face 18x9.5 Enkei RPF1s Question...

Hey so looking to get an 06 STI, use to work for subaru and test drive that for customers, just love that car, its been a while NOW im saving to get a 05 or 06 model, before buying it i wanna get the suspension (Cusco-01) and the Enkei RPF1`s 18X9.5 all around...so my question is 18x9.5 would fit with stock fenders? if the standard BBS are 17x8 5x114.3 +53, what would be offset for 18x9.5?

any info would be helpful!

Thanks!

they WILL fit on stock fenders with some fender rolling and pulling in the rears. your front fenders should be fine. do you know what offset the RPF1's come in for the 18x9.5?

You're going to have to shave the little lip the car has under the rear wheel wheels. I had to do that when i put on my 18x8.5 +38 wheels. Running -1.4 in the rear.
And some stiff coilovers. I'm running a spring rate of 12K front and 10K rear.
