will this fit?
Right now i have the stock bbs sti wheels 17x8. I'm want to buy the xxr 257 18x8.75 but i have tien s tech springs and i think they would be to wide to fit in the back. Should i just go with the 17x8.25 instead? And what tire size should i run? i want to stretch the tire a little bit. thank you

they will fit. What size tire are you running?
those wheels come in 18x8.75 et35 I recommend a 235/40/18 (will have a very light stretch but not bad) you may also need to roll your inner fender lips a bit of you are pretty low. which is NBD |

Id be running the 235/40/18 and I really dont wonna roll the fenders. I was thinking 35 offset? If I post some photos of the stock wheels and wheel well gab, and fender clearance would that help? I wont have a problem in the front jus tv possibly in the rear.

you can still use 18s but they would have to be 18x8 et48. A good amount of wheels come in this size and you can still run those tires you listed.
Whats wrong with rolling your fenders? its not very hard.. and you cant tell from the outside. it just bends the little lip on the inside up. |

I don't have experience rolling fenders I probably do it I've watched how to videos. I just don't want to mess up my paint.
