Tire fitment question!!

MrTbrew8 · 10-10-2012, 10:50 AM

I have a bone stock 2006 wrx, I was curious if these wheels and tires would fit without any complications

Tires- 235/40zr
Wheels- 18" rotas

Thanks!

Clearly, you've done your homework. They should fit fine, regardless of what wheel width or offset you choose. Those pieces of information are not at all important to wheel fitment.

maybe you should thinking about including the actual pertinent information regarding fitment?

wheel diameter means nothing. literally.

tire size fitment depends on a combination of width and offset.

width alone means nothing.

offset alone means nothing.

It's 9" wide with a 35 offset

MrTbrew8 · 10-10-2012, 10:22 PM

It's 9" wide and 35 offset

If you want no complications then you need to stay with the 18x8.5 plus 48. 18x9 plus 35 will require mods.

What kind of mods do you think? I've never heard about this offset stuff before I've always been into rock crawling an have never had to worry about it

Negative camber all around, rolled rear fenders.
