Guys asking for "stance" are going to be as low as they can go which REQUIRES stretching tires to a degree.

^^ I've never looked at it that way..damn my single mindedness! I guess your right, but a 235 on a 9.5? I would atleast go 245/40, but that's just me.
I guess from now on, the guys that ask "stance" and "stretch" questions will get a answer that will help them but I will also start each paragraph with "I do not condone not suggest stretched tires". That way my message gets across, but I don't come off as such a dick... Carry on with your questions. |

I'm running 265 35 18's on my 08 sti with 18x9.5 +43. Don't run 225-235 that's just silly. At least go 245...and be somewhat safe.

FWIW, a 235 fits on a 9.5 with no issues. They were able to mount mine up without resorting to any ridiculous methods that include ether or an inner tube. Plus TireRack lists a 9.5 on their fitment calculator with a 235 tire and I can't imagine, from a legal standpoint, that TireRack would suggest something like that unless it was "safe".

I just bought these same wheels for my '12 WRB hatch, but I got them in the machined silver color. I'm on stock suspension/ride height and I went with some 255/35/r18 tires so I shouldn't have to roll the fenders at all. Can I just say the car pictured above is so freakin sick looking? I love the blacked out look on this hatch, it looks so mean with that lip and the wheels...just the whole thing is freakin awesome. Kind of makes me think I could give up my WRB someday for an all black look. |

For most cars, you will need a good roll and maybe a pull. Will also probably need rear camber plates.. But this is for most cars as I don't know what you have. |

What all do you have done for suspension? Any fender work? Could you post a pic of your car in here or send me a link to a thread with your car in it? Thanks

You'll need a roll and maybe a pull depending on how low. Hopefully it clears the strut, but it should
