What about with fender flares? That is an option that I am considering doing. Who’s much do you think it would poke out? I understand it’s a difficult spec.

If you have to ask questions about wheel fitment and flares, you probably shouldn’t be messing with wheel fitment and flares. |

The front fenders are kind of silly unless you can find something matching for the rear. There is a ton of room up front even without rolling.
The rear on the hand needs lots of help. |

That car is bagged. And looks much better than that white WRX.

hey guys i got a newb question for you all. so i have a 2018 sti with stock tires and rims and i was wondering if there are any fitment issues like rubbing and any other fun things that come with lowering your car. i really want to go with a set of swift spec r lowering springs. but fear the 19" rim may be to much for that. any insight on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

You won't rub on oem wheels/tires. I had 20mm spacers on my '18 STi lowered with HKS coilovers and I didn't rub, so you'll be fine.

Aligment Suggestions
Looking for Alignment suggestions on my 15 WRX. I've been driving my vehicle on wedssport 72R's 17x9/42 offset. Tires 245/45/17 on eibach lowering springs with white line rear control arms and Whiteline front camber bolts.
Don't know if it's my alignment but I notice my vehicle pull to the right a bit and feel some play in the steering wheel. Usually feel instability during windy conditions driving over 50mph. Aligment sheet on hyperlink. https://www.flickr.com/photos/141185.../shares/0k29Sd |

OK so I've read alot of this thread but I haven't found any answers.
My suspension is mostly stock. The only mod is Racecomp RCE yellows. I had my stock BBS wheels on with 20mm spacers effectively making it a 18 x 8.5 +35 offset. This was fine until I replaced my stock tires with a set of Hankook RS3'S 245/40/18. These tires were apparently quite a bit more square and rubbed the fenders over bumps with passengers in the back, so I had to remove them. My question is now, if I go to an aftermarket wheel what am I looking for that won't require fender rolling. I'm looking at 18 x 9.5 +40 but I think I'll be in the same boat. My thoughts are I have to stick with a 18 x 9 +40 (which still may be close) or a 18 x 9.5 +45 which is a rare size. The only other thing I can see as a fix is some rear let's and some camber. Can anyone chime in here? |

18x9.5 +40-45 with 255/35 (+45 is not a rare size, very common with people running 275's) |
