Default Tire Help

Ok, i got a set of 18x7.5 volk LE28's. offset is +33. which i know sounds low, but it said it would fit on the rays website, also a few other sources, and also the wheel fitment guide for the sti. i ordered some 235/40/18 yokohama avs's. is the rubbing gonna be bad? if any rubbing? i know it isnt an extemely bigger tire than the stock 225. but just curious if anybody knows.

to add i am getting tein flex suspension, hopefully it will come in the next few days or so, but i will be lowering the car also, not extremely low. probably just even out the front with the back.

a 33mm offset is way too low for a Subi ... yes you will have tire rub issues and yes they will be quite extensive

My only problem is this, u told me this once before, but my question is, why does it say it clears the brembo's on the rays website. check here

it might clear the brakes but, that doesn't mean that is a correct fit for the car ..... I know of a couple zero offset wheels that will clear also but they do not fit correctly
