I'd have to agree with this part. I'm running 18x8.5+48 with a 245/40R18 tire and there is just enough room to where I don't need to do any fender mods. The extra 4mm on the +44 wouldn't be a deal breaker, but I wouldn't push it further. Also, I'm on stock '11 STI suspension, so slightly lower than stock. But even on my stock suspension, I wouldn't have felt comfortable going any closer.

It's a little pricier than the 57DR and I like it a bit less, but it might be worth looking at if it will help me save some of my hair.

And by the way, thanks for taking it easy one me- I know these forums are filled with people asking about fitment, but it's awesome that this forum can be such a valuable resource when those of you with a wealth of knowledge are patient and willing to help those of us with less knowledge. I greatly appreciate it.
I'd get the ones that you like the most... You dont want to go through all the work, time, and money, just to do it again...

Always happy to help! Lord knows we've all been there at one point or another... I teach special ed so patience comes with the territory...

You should be relatively safe... Worst case would be some rear camber bushings to get a little extra rear camber adjustment, but I think youll be fine... If youre on coils then you could also lower it a tad more to get extra clearance, I believe for every inch you lower our cars you gain a degree of negative camber

I ordered their retrofit lip and they sent this instead. I figured I might as well install it and I'm glad I did. Looks great!

Does that fit both premium and base bumpers? Looks like you have a base bumper in the first and premium in the second.

The one pictured in mine is the premium bumper. Not sure about the base.

235/40R18 are easy fit.

IIRC those Sparco's are +48mm offset and will give you plenty of fender room.
