Im possibly picking up a 13 wrx hatch. I have a set of RS 6 spokes with winter tires on them. Will they fit? I know bolt pattern is the same. They fit on my 06 wrx but just wanted to make sure offset. Was ok

And it's dangerous to run "no camber" or "0" camber. You NEED negative camber for ANY wheel setup. Not to mention just about all cars come with some negative camber from the factory. |

I'm ready to buy a wheel/tire combo just need some quick advice. I have an '09 WRX and want a nice flush look with the fenders. Was looking to get 17x8 with either a +40 or +44, still unsure of tire size, was thinking 235/45 or possibly wider? As of right now I'm running stock ride height and will at most see an 1.5 inch drop on springs. Could someone help with with a size that wont require fender pull or any rubbing issues with a slight drop? Thanks everyone

there is no such thing as flush without some form of fender modification.
that said, neither of those will be really "flush" in the way 99% of us use the term, but the +40 will probably be "flush enough" for you. 235/45 is a bit tall, try a 235/40. |

The Rota DPT is a 10 spoke, but I don't know the sizes.

So do you want the design or the lip?
The DPT is the closest in design, but you aren't going to find many "knockoffs" that have that kind of lip. Regardless of size or offset. |

If I have to run the stock 225/40 on these rims then so be it, but I'd like to squeeze out what I can without having to worry about rolling the fenders. |
