I would like to know how will those wheels fit Or what I need to do to make them fit. Currently I have dr 31's 17x8 et 42 with 225/45/17 and rub just a bit when turning but that's it. Thanks!
Going from a 8" +42 to 9" + 32 will make the set up 23mm wider on the outside, so you can just measure out from your current setup. I'm running 17x9 +35 with a 245/40 and the rears rolled flat and the fronts slightly rolled.

Edit: also on a bugeye

Not a photo thread! And, your photos aren't showing up, you have to upload them to a site like photobucket, tinypic, etc...

But, do you understand the potential dangers of running a staggered wheel on an AWD car? Unless you're not AWD

I'm a fan of stance so upload the pics properly and post in the members gallery thread. Your car would be appreciated here: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...60317&page=198

I'm looking into a set of the new work d9r's and I know the only offset for a 18x9.5 that clears brembos is a +23. I was wondering what I would have to do to make this fit? And if it is even functional? Car is a 2013 sti.

Are there any downsides to putting 225/45 r17 winter tires on a set of 17x8 wheels? I have a friend moving that is looking to unload them cheap.

Hey guys. I'm running 18x8.5 +45 Enkei T6S wheels on my 2013 WRX. I'm starting to lean towards getting some spacers to make them flush, and then rolling the rears. Can anybody with experience let me know if it would be a good idea to get spacers? What size would get me flush? Is there a specific type of spacer, or brand that I should be looking into? Thanks.

I just bought an 06 wrx sedan and got a set of XXR Series 530 for free (I know, cheapies). They're 18x8.75 +35.
The car's on COBB Sport springs right now, 1.25" front 1" rear lowering. No camber adjustment.
Haven't bought tires yet. What tire size should I get to fit? Any size I can maybe avoid fender rolling? And on a side note, maybe this is a dumb question, would these pose a problem to rubbing mud flaps? Any help appreciated

If you aren't rolling fenders with that setup, you're doing it wrong.

Sure you could stretch a tire and keep the car at the current height to avoid rolling but it'll look like ****.

245/35 or 245/40 should do well on that with a fender roll.

Lol, if he's lowered that's going to take a hell of a lot more than a roll.

Has anyone put older OEM STI 18x8.5 Enkei or BBS wheels on a 2015 wrx? I was wondering how they fit with the 245/40/R18 on the stock suspension. Would love to see some photos.

I was going to ask the Subaru gods what I should do
currently have unknown wheel brand or specs all I know is that they are 17's and would like to retain my current tires
I would like Rota Grid wheels preferably concave in hyper black with a small drop in ride height just for the wheel gap. no camber or anything crazy, It's my DD what should I get to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

Not many because both are poor choices for the wheel width.
