How fat can I get?

I was wondering how wide cam I go on my 02 wrx wagon? I'm probably going to run SS Tein coilovers off of an 93-01 RS, I want to go 18x9 or 18x10.
Please let me know.

How much work do you want to do on the fenders?

I think pignosewrx is running 255's on his 06-07 wagon with rolled fenders (not sure).

I ran 17" 225's on Tein SS coilovers with no fender mod and still rubbed a tad (rear only) cornering hard at the track.

Im running 18x8.5 with 245/35 tires. Only thing i had to do is roll the rears. Very flush with the car and no rim edges sticking out of the tire. Look at my garage. Plus the Spec-c type RA-r came with these so you know they ride nice

Note that LOL Vtec has a sedan and you're running a wagon. You should probably check to make sure the widths are similar.

That sounds like a good idea.

Buddy of mine (WRaholicX) has 18x8 +48 with 235/40 tires and stock suspension on is bugeye wagon and they poke a little bit and he had to roll his rear fenders. He is working a trading them for 18x7.5 for better fitment. That should give you some perspective.
