Looks like you need quite the alignment.

As with most a lot people on here, I am really confused as to what wheel and offset fits best on my car. I am looking for the best fitting wheel in a fairly aggressive size like 9 or 9.5 inches, but I am want to do the least amount of modifications possible like spacers and rolled fenders.....but I realize that I will most likely have to do some sort of modification based on the set up I chose. Just looking for some insight please
year: 2010 model:STI Hatch wheel model: WANTING to run Enkei RPF1 or ROTA T2R wheel size/offset: 18 x 9 et 35, or 18 x 9.5 et 38 or et 45 for enkei, 18 x 9.5 et 38 for the T2R tire brand/model: not sure yet tire size: 255/35/18 suspension: stock for now, looking at drop springs first, dont want to low alignment: stock for now fender mods: pretty sure I will have to roll my fenders spacers: 9in wide, yes? what size; 9.5in wide obviously for et 38, but what about the et 45 on the enkei rpf1? Any wheel gurus can put in theri input, for this wheel fitmet newbie, I do appreciate it Erik |

well now ive got a different idea...
in my previous post i asked about the rpf1 in 18in sizes...now i think im gona go with a -1, 17in size since i plan on setteing my car up to autocross. from what i have read, 17 x 9.5 or 10 is a little bit lighter in unsprung weight at each corner. i plan on running a 255 or 265 tire, and most likely have to roll my fenders. and from what i have gathered, 17 x 10--no spacer...17 x 9.5 requires a spacer, but what size exactly??? im not sure yet...plus the i will save some money on wheels and tires, but still have the aggressive look im going after... any advide is greatful erik Last edited by erikjon2010; 09-01-2013 at 04:31 PM.

I would do a 245/40 if I where you, but it will require a decent roll

Hey guys I have a stock 05 sti right now but I ordered some Work Cr Kai 18x8.5+36 and some Tein Flex coilovers, I want it to be sitting flush and the tires on them are 205/40R18 nankangs. What will I need to make it sit flusk and for it to be lowered without rubbing. Will I have to do fender work? Please I need help ASAP.

This fitment has been done before without stretching your tires!! Try putting some tires on it that actually fit as well |
