Default Rota Grid

I am buying a set of rota grid 18 inch wheels and I was wondering if anyone could clarify wether or not they would fit on an 04 impreza 2.5 rs. It says they fit on an 04 STI but doesn't say if they will fit on Impreza. Can anyone help me?

04 STI and 04 RS would have the same fitment, so if they fit on the STI, they fit on your RS.

Lower, roll, pull if running a 235 or bigger tire and maybe a little camber.

I was planning on bagging the car, and rolling the fenders and giving it a -1 camber or so. What size tire would I need to put on to have a nice stretch nothing to crazy just a little stretch? Do you by chance know?

Just a heads up, i had Rota Grids on my Honda. They aren't the strongest wheels, hit a few manhole covers or potholes (depending on your location) the wrong way and they will start to bend. I drove real cautiously and it still happen.

"You get what you pay for" there is a reason why grids are a few hundreds of dollars, and te37's are a few thousands

I was looking to get Linea Corse Lemans when I realized my Rota's bent. Their reviews are good in regards to overal strength. I wound up just keeping the 2005 Acura TL wheels on the car and sold the Grid's to a friend of mine(he was aware they were bent)

You might be ok with Rota's in Millbrook. I dont know if you have ever been to Yonkers (we are about an hour south of you) our streets are usually pretty bad 365 days a year lol

Yeah I wouldn't be going to Yonkers or anywheres that bad. Haha. Thanks for the info. I like both styles but I want to know which one I like better on a matte black 02-05 Impreza. Probably the rota grids.
