18x8 size rims. What size tires fit on this?
What's size tires should I use with 18x8 rims? I want wide, but I don't want rubbing issues on my wrx sedan. I would also like to keep the speedometer reading as accurate as possible.

I think you would be limited to 225 4018, 235 40 18, 235 35 18, 245 35 18.

offset of the wheels? but for 18 x8 i think 245-35 is a good tire size, its way wider, and keeps it close to stock diameter. and you have a sedan so you'll have less to worry about as far as rubbing goes, compared to us wagons.

Yeah, the price looks great for that tire. I know that in the size I'm looking at, I won't have as many choices. But i still want someone to come out and say that that size or a 235 40 18 worked fine on a wrx sedan. I don't want to find out the hard way that I get rubbing issues.

on a sedan with 18x8 best without no problems is 225/40/18 other than that you need to upgrade to coilovers and roll fenders depending on your offset

The offset would be +48 mm. I would rather get a set of 17x8 and get 235 40 17, if I would have to use 225's
