Hello 2 all , one question about wheels. What is the max wide wheel for bugeye to fit 225/40/18 tires without and mods like roll fenders to fit perfectly with no rubs?
For example 18x8 ET35 (I had those and I think It can be wider) |

Got some 527s. 17x9.75. Stock height still. Need some suggestions on suspension. Probably won't do coils but will do springs and Koni yellows.

but you'll most likely have to roll you rear fenders but i don't know for sure cause i havent worked on a '05 before but since youre lowered it will give you peace of mind |

I have a 2015 Impreza 2.0i on stock suspension height. I want wheels where I don't have to roll/stretch fenders.
Would I be able to accomplish that with XXR 527 18x8.75 et35, planning to use 235/40/18 tires???? |

Rub or no rub, that is the question? =)
I am running 17X9/+42 with 245/40 on the same gen, but my is 2011 WRX (stock suspension) so shocks have more travel than your STI suspension. I have no rubbing at all. I drew out graphically to determine the poke between 17x9/+42 and 18x8.75/+33, they are virtually the same. You have 18in wheels so they are 0.5in closer to your wheel wells compared to my 17s. Do you think that extra 0.5in is what causing you to rub??? (I am assuming you are still on stock suspension from your pics where I don't see any lowering). How much of a gap do you have between the edge of front and rear fender until they touch the Pilot SS tires?
Would appreciate your help to determine if I need to roll fenders and dial more negative camber on stock suspension. If I do, I might as well purchase coilovers if I have to go to alignment shop to fix the camber. Quote:

This thread has 162 pages. So wondering if 531 18x9.5 +35 will work on stock 04 STi suspension, clear the Brembos, and not need any roll out modification?
Got a chance to get some for free. |

I havent experienced any rub in the front because the suspension is higher than the rear, and the rear has a much worst lip. I've only experienced rub in extreme conditions i.e. 4 passengers and doing stupid things on back country mountain roads in west virginia Is that setup on your car now or are you going to be putting it on soon? I don't think you will need coilovers, If you havent put this setup on your car yet then i would suggest putting them on, and do some tight mid speed corners in a parking lot and listen for rub. If you have rub then a fender roll will get rid of it better than coilovers. I know youre gonna want to eliminate some wheel gap when you go to coilovers (youre not gonna lift your car afterall) and that would exacerbate the problem. Good luck sir! |

Hey, everyone! So I've been looking through this thread FOREVER and I've searched and searched and searched EVERYWHERE for information on the XXR 552s and XXR 969s. I haven't seen anyone rocking these wheels anywhere and I'm really curious to know if anyone on here has these or has seen these wheels before. The 552s are similar to the Enkei RPF1s and the 969s are similar to the Work Emotion CR KAIs. Can anyone help me out with this please? Pictures and input is appreciated!
PS: I'm looking at the XXR 552s mainly in the size of 18x8.5 +36 offset with a tire size of maybe 225/40/18. |

I know. But they've been out for a minute though it seemed. However, despite that. I still haven't seen any "real" images of the wheels in natural light. Only images I've found were the display images on the website. It's hard to tell what some of these wheels look like when they have a white backdrop behind them. Haha

Yeah, I like them. They look aggressive, clean, and attention grabbing, but not too flashy. I was looking at 18x8.5 +36 offset. Do you think I'd have to do any fender modifications? I have coilovers but haven't installed them yet because I want to put everything on all at once.
My car is a 2005 WRX. |

Ah, yes!!! Thanks a lot! Just what I was looking for. Looks great! I'm tied between these XXR 969s and the 552s. Those 969s look nice!
