So I'm buying a set of wheels off a buddy, tires are trashed so I'm looking to see what the best size tire I can run. The thing is, there is not much clearance with this wheel. I test fit them on my car.
Wheel: 18x8.5 Kosei K3 with a +50 offset Tires at the moment (garbage): 225/35/r18 Car: 2005 WRX sedan Suspension: ISC N1 coilovers with barely a finger gap all around Fender mods: None The reason I ask what tire size I should use is because the clearance between the tire/wheel and the coilover is so TIGHT. So much that my buddy wore right through his coilover cover/protector. So I am wondering if I need to run say a 3mm spacer just to be safe? The offset is different than most wheels at +50. Again, looking to see what size tire would fit with these wheels. I don't like how the current tires look with that sidewall. Any help would be appreciated |

2012 Impreza 2.0 noob
Hi guys,
New member here. Purchased my Impreza about a month ago. Now looking for a set of rims to give a more aggressive stance ie. Poke. I found a nice, decently price set of ADV rims. 17x7.5 (30 offset) From what I've read these rims will probably cause rubbing with 205's. I'm hopeing to get a solid answer since I haven't been able to find any info regarding these rim dimensions. Thanks! |

What's up guys, super new to the car community as I've had a pickup my whole life. I just recently bought a 2017 black wrx and was wanting to get rid of the stock 17's. With that being said I know next to nothing about offset and what I can run and what I can't. Not looking to change my suspension at this time and don't want to deal with rubbing. Just hoping to get your guys's opinion on what set up looks best and what I'm able to fit. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

17x9 +45 with 255/40/17 on 2006 WRX TR
Year: 2006
Model: WRX TR Wheel model: Enkei RPF1 Wheel size/offset: 17x9 +45 Tire brand/model: Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Specs Tire size: 255/40/17 Suspension: Stock Alignment: Standard Fender mods: None (yet) Spacers: In question. I'm told because of the 4/2 pots on the WRX TR, I need at least 3 if not 5 mm spacers in the front and possibly a 3 mm in the rear because of the strut. Can anyone confirm this from experience? Thanks! |

I'm picking my 2017 WRX soon. I saw some OZ Superturismo LM's that I love and think they would look great. The size they come in are 18x8 et45. Is anyone running this setup and will it be okay on this car? Will it push the wheels further from or closer to the fender and by how much (I'm an isiot when it comes to offsets)? Also, I would like to run the stock tires (245/40 18). Any issues?

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't those narrower than stock. I suspect they would fit with no issues, but most people will tell you to go bigger.

Fitment issues
Hey all, I'm new to posting here and modding in general, I own a '15 STi and wanted to change my wheels to something that's wider and looks nice, so I went with the Enkei Raijins.
year: 2015 model: WRX STi wheel model:Enkei Raijin wheel size/offset: 18x9.5 +35mm tire brand/model: NA tire size:NA suspension: Stock alignment: NA fender mods: No spacers: No I bought this based on some research, and a SubiSpeed STi wheel listing, but it seems I still managed to get the wrong wheel as I ended up rubbing against the drivers side Brembo (Left hand drive) and the wheel itself while turning the wheels and moving the car a few cm to test the fitment. What should I do in this case? Did I cause major suspension/wheel damage? I have a picture of the scratch on my Brembo wheel if you want to see it. Many thanks for the suggestions. |

Only rub in the rear if I really corner hard. I had enough room in the rear to not need the spacer but I felt better with it on there for strut clearance since I could spare the room towards the fender. |

Work Emotions
Okay, so i'm trying to decide which setup i want. I already know I'm going to get bashed, i just need some input.
year: 2013 model: WRX STi HATCH wheel model: Work Emotion D9R SETUP 1 wheel size/offset: 18x9.5 +35mm tire brand/model: N/A tire size: 245/40, 255/40, or 265/35 suspension: Coils (Haven't decided brand, maybe some BC ER's) alignment: NA fender mods: Roll spacers: IDK SETUP 2 (Preferred) wheel size/offset: 18x10.5 (+30mm or +23mm) tire brand/model: N/A tire size: 245/40, 255/40 suspension: Coils (Haven't decided brand, maybe some BC ER's) alignment: NA fender mods: Roll/Slight Pull spacers: IDK I know the money, parts and amount of work not to mention camber it would take to stuff 18x10.5's on my hatch, but is it possible for a daily. I don't want it slammed, just flush. Questions: Will the work emotions in those offsets clear the brembos? And just any other input, has anyone seen this size wheel on a GR? Edit: I'm not opposed to more or a stretch if needed also. Wouldn't like to go much smaller than a 235/40 though... Last edited by WagonBaggin; 06-28-2016 at 04:59 PM. Reason: Add Tire Size |

Hi,new to NASIOC.
Just wondering,after quite some searching,anyone running 17 7.5j et38 wheels on an 05 Subaru sti? It seems to be quite a strange width and offset with minimal search results. Mostly seeing this offset in a wider wheel such as 9j. Would like to know if the above will fit on my sti lowered on eibach pro springs. Thanks Guy |
