Running -1.6 in the front and I think the rears were around -0.6 after installing the suspension with the rear one notch up from the middle setting. Nothing else needed just the rear roll.

Need some help and advice here, I have a 2012 wrx and am looking for new summer tires and wheels, I want 18 inch and am at stock suspension but may get springs in the summer time... I don't want to roll my fenders but obviously don't want to rub either...what are my best options for a set up (tire size and make and wheels sizes)? What color wheels do you guys think goes well with SWP? Which wheel models?

^^^ no roll required at all.... Not until you get coils and lower it alot , and even then it will only be the rear ....
Speedo won't be off at all |

I understand what you're trying to do, but you need to compare the sizes that are being discussed.... 235/45/17 vs 245/35/18..... |

If the OP doesn't want much change he'd have to go with a 265-35-18 which would give a difference of -0.1% Not significant ..... |

There is also a pretty distinct gearing advantage with a <25" diameter on the 5spd. |

Rota grids 18x9.5 +38 265/35-18 Stock camber. Rolled and slightly pulled fenders The rears need to be rolled even on stock height. I drove about 15 miles and the rears scraped at least 3 times during that drive down the freeway. From my experience I think it still wouldve scraped some even with 255s |

2012 subaru wrx hatch.
rays gramlights 18.9.5 +38 Gunblue /w nexen n3000 255/35/18. Stock suspension and no fenders rolled. I think this is a good setup for those not wanting their fenders rolled. I was clueless on wheel/tire until I read this thread. Thanks Dan, I took your advice on page 34 and went with this setup rear Last edited by zolaman; 01-17-2013 at 12:06 AM. |
