Looking at buying some Gram Lights for my WRX and was wondering what offset you would recommend for my set up? I will be running BC coils, with Racecomp sways bars. I'm looking at getting in to auto cross and the occasional track day. I would like to run an 18x9.5 with a 275 tire. Thanks!

First thing is to read the class rules. If you plan to be competitive, only upgrading wheels and tires will most likely out you in a class you won't be competitive in. For autocross - you do not need such a huge wheel/tire setup, and could likely lead to a performer decrease. Suspension - id look into a decent set of coils. |

18x9.5 34 offset Bridgestone Potenza 255/35/18 Swift Spec R Would I have to roll the front fenders or just the rears? |

More meaning higher offset, yes. But it would have to be in the 40's. Even +40-42, I think those guys are still rolling the rear. You have to start worrying about strut clearance when you are are running wider wheels with a higher offset....I'm not an expert on the higher offsets with stock suspensions. Dan from Mach V may be able to answer your question more appropriately. Last edited by rmarchigiani; 03-09-2014 at 10:04 PM. |

Okay I think I've made a mistake. Bought 18x9.75 xxr530 +20 offset for my stock 04 Wrx and was planning on 255/40/18 to go on it..how screwed am I? I want a wide stance but I do t want to mod it too much. I was told do the +20 but It looks as if I was fooled

That is one DOOZY of a setup lol I would say that unless you have flares and are sittin pretty low and run some decent negative camber you are going to have trouble making that wheel/tire combo fit for your year haha

With my coilovers and 18x9.5" ET38 setup, I have a ton of space on the inside. I could have gone 10" like I wanted to, and still had a lot of room. |

Would 18x9.5 +45 fit on stock suspension without rolling, also what tires would I get 265/35?
Thanks for helping a noob |

I believe a 265 on "stock" suspension is fine |

265's might rub....I would go with 255's BUT you might still rub on some bigger dips and with weight in the car
