hey guys i have a 2010 wrx, i bought some 18x8.75 +35 with 235-40 18's....... they poke like crazy in the front...... i made sure the casting was +35 offset and they are. So whats the deal? I probably need to post a picture. Its on stock suspension, and i hope my camber is not that much positive to make them look like excessive poke.

Fat Black Pig Sac · 11-18-2012, 02:01 AM

18x8.75 +35? hmmmm

Yea I will throw a pic up in here and see what ya'll think... its about half pissed me off, cause i thought it would be more flush to the fenders.

skatin707 · 11-18-2012, 10:10 AM

It should be. Your camber could be out of whack or they could, in reality, be +25s. Tough to say without some visual aids.

It is a narrow body wrx though as well, so it may be that the +35 is just too low without the wider fenders of the 11+.

skatin707 · 11-18-2012, 12:20 PM

Still, a +35 shouldn't poke as much as he's saying. I dunno, let's see what the picture shows.

You need an alignment. That's a much wider wheel and slightly larger tire than stock. Plus the offset is more aggressive. Any plans on suspension work?
I threw my 18x9 +38 wheels on my car (245/40/18 tires) and was blown away at how much poke they had on stock suspensions.
Take your car to the best alignment shop around and ask for max neg. camber up front and try and match the rears.

I upgraded my suspension to the RCE blacks & Bilstein shocks/struts. Also added RCE camber plates up front to dial in more camber & caster. Proper alignment will help a lot.

skatin707 · 11-19-2012, 09:23 AM

Max negative isn't necessarily considered a "proper" alignment.

taiekchi · 11-19-2012, 12:28 PM

XXR 527's 18 x 9.75 +20
I plan to go a bit lower in the front when I get new tires.

Are you planning on going 225's? That seems to be the standard with stock fenders.

I'm running 245/40's on stock fenders. Well, they're rolled and slightly pulled in the rear.

Right now I am running 245's, but yeah I just picked up some 225's from a local member and plan on running them in the next day or two.

Yea I figured that out after I done ordered them.... But i'm going to run a cheaper coilover and roll my rear fenders, they are +35 but after sleeping on it they will look very flush after a roll and lowering it. Its just dramastic change on stock suspension. My buddy aligns cars and i'm going to help him and get the most camber out of the bottom of the strut and keep it close to a "good" aligment close to specs, then I may order some strut plates for up front. I did throw a level to both sides and the front that have some poke are a little +camber so its going to work out just fine. Thanks for the help, i'm new member and try to post some good photos later in this thread after i'm able too. I'm a 8 year member on Carolinahondas.com. And 3 year on Vadriven.com. but that last forum site has went to ****. So thanks again!!
