What do YOU think for the 18x9?
I have 235/40/ on 18x9+28 and no stretch looks good! but there not xxrs..
my 526 are 17x9 +25 with 205/45

looks good imo just depends who u are. Some like the stretch and others like the meaty and then others like in the middle.

Ok I am looking into getting the 527 18x8.75 +35. I have looked through every page and I am thinking of going with a 235/40/18 should that be ok without rubbing issues if I get my rear fenders rolled? Also what lug nuts are you guys running? I was looking at the Muteki spline or sr48 or should I get something different?

Thanks man, the 245/40 is growing on me a little more with each day! Just trying to get used to not having the 17x7.5 RPF1's on there haha.

Will look into this if I do decide to change my tires. Thank you!

Just wondering if the people with 527's have had any issues as far as bends or cracks? The roads around here are not the greatest but I try to avoid all the dips and potholes I can.

Ordered some 18x8.75 527's today and they are currently out of stock hopefully they get some in today I'm in need of some shoes. What tire size would yall recommend? I went to a shop and he said 225/40, but to me it sounds little small.

For this size wheel, 255/35-18.

Example:
A 2012 WRX stock diameter tire is 25.3"
255/35-18's are 25 to 25.1" in diameter, but different manufactures like Federal will run bigger in this tire size.

I bought some Nexen N3000 255/35-18's mounted on my XXR 518's. I brought'em home, took the stock setup off, stood both side by side and they ended up being a perfect match in diameter.

I think they only come in +20. Check for 527's to get an idea of the concave, they're the same
