will 18x8 +25 offset fit in a 07 wrx w/o major clearance issues?

 

you will definately have clearance issues. with a rim that size you should look for something in the low to mid 40's.

 

if you plan on running that low of an offset you should hit up henry at mach3. he knows alot about those things as he has ran some crazy offsets before.

 

thanx guyz ..i was lookin at the tenzo r dc5 version 1....i like that concave face look...has n e one seen these on a car b4? couldnt find much pix.....thanx agin for the input guyz...

 

this is mine 18x8.5 SSR GT2's +23 offset with 225/40/18 tires

I rolled the fenders flat in rear, the car is on coilovers, and lowered quite a bit.

no rubbing on farely stiff settings.

 

shxt looks baddass man...thanx

 

ya i jus got 17x8 with 48 offset and 225 45 17 tires on stock sti suspension and they scraped really bad everytime i hit a bump i had to get the fenders rolled

 

if youre going to run that low of an offset you will definately need a lot of negative camber. there are definately ways you can get them to fit but on a street car, i dont think its worth it.

 

sorry to swoop on ur thread, but I was wondering the same thing. will a +35 offset have any clearance issues? im lowered on coilovers

 

Yes. They will rub like sh*t, unless your rear tires look like this / \

 

yea, thats what I was expecting. what will solve this problem? fenders rolled/pulled? im running 18x8.5 +45 right now with no rubbing at all (only a few times when I go on mountain runs ) I bougt some 18x8.5 +35 rims off a buddy of mine so I just wanna know what I have to do to make them fit with no issues

 

did you not read what I posted...you're taking advice from people that have never run this setup....

like I said...I'm running +23 18x8.5 my tire size is 225/40/18 and my rear fender is rolled flat. I'm running street coilovers on mid to stiff settings, and I have no rubbing issues. I have a decent amount of camber but it's no drift car super camber setup or anything.

you could go safe and run a 225 but with a 235 and +35 offset which is 12mm's less than me you should be okay to...as long as you have coilovers or stiff suspension and the rear fenders rolled (front too if you like) with some camber...

honestly +35 is nothing these days... subydude is running +30 on cars with just springs....step it up already
