Hi, that's my car. Yes im running H&R front camber bolts. And yes i do rub but it happens rarely and only on huge bumps on the road. Are you on coilovers? try stiffening up the suspension. That might help.

^ I'm looking for some tips on how to make these work. I'm running BC's and trying to fit 18x9.5 +44 with 235/40/18's. Advice please - these are the test fits not even a 1/4" front. The camber hasn't been adjusted yet - just looking for suggestions on how to make these work on our 09 wrx sdn

I'm running the same setup, factory camber bolts all the way negative, coilover bolts all the way negative. Stiffness on coilover about 20 clicks. I rub when turning into parking lots etc and it drives me nuts. Gonna raise it a bit cause i can't stand it. I'm tucking a little tire up front so I should raise it a bit anyways.

Those Federals look really meaty. I had a lot of stretch on my Bridgestone tires. Does it clear the rear struts? Looks like you'll be needing 3mm spacers if you're on stock struts plus a rear fender roll.

I already rolled my front fenders. So far no rubbing up front even when the steering wheel is turned all the way.

I know, I have a set of 18x9 +40 with 225/40/18's for my hatch and I wish I went with a bigger stretch with these 18x9.5 but we need to have some tire under us around here.
I'm running BC's - it looks like it clears in the rear just seems to need a camber adj and a fender roll.
It's the front that appears to be the biggest problem at this point.

Really...?
Are you tucking front tire at all?

My front rubbing when turning drives me nuts too. Maybe ill try more camber up front to see if that helps.

Raised mine about 1/2 inch and no more rubbing wohoo. I was tucking tire in the front so I guess thats why I was rubbing. Going to take some picks this weekend of my new setup. I love being aggressive glad i went with 9.5's

From the looks of it, it's a little smaller. Though I think it's mainly due to the offset.
The 8.5 I found is +45mm
His 9.5's are +30

18x8.5 Linea Corse Lemans +45

I took mine out of the stockers and placed them in the new rims. I bought the stems separately so I could leave the stockers available to use. Weird thing was that I ran on the stockers w/o the sensors for a few days afterwards and the light never came on.

I read somewhere that the light will only be triggered if the sensors read below 26 psi. I assume since mine were not installed, there was never a low psi signal sent to the module, therefore the light never went on. But, that's my case in particular, so I don't know if others will behave the same.

I started a thread about this but didn't get an answer.

Thanks. Some people put their stock ones on,some buy new ones, some drive with the light on, and some just take the light out.

Basically up to you I guess. I personally would get new ones but yea. Was just asking how you guys go about it.
