Stunning pics, these are what inspired me to fit 18x8.5s. I've been speaking to TSL and the owner of wheeldude.com in the last couple of days. Both are doing great prices on Rota Grids in PCD 5x100.

Dan@wheeldude has reassured me that Rota Grid 18x8.5s with offset 44 fits on a blobeye WRX with only rear wheelarch mods, no suspension or alignment changes required on 235/40/18 tyres.

He's fitted his own car and dozens of customer cars with 18x8.5 wheels, often with much wider tyres than 235 - his are huge! 255s I think? Obviously that takes a lot more work!

they are nice wheels, im assuming thats the rota Gforce line up

also does anybody have a clue where i can buy that black styling piece of kit that attaches underneath the sideskirt

running 18x9 with low offsets will surely affect the handling, but then again my car is not going to see a track

could anbody photoshop the car black ....pretty please

You could contact these guys about the underskirts, if you're looking at those wheels I'm sure the price won't bother you

Tosh, that's what coilovers are for. Ride and handling can still be good with a low ride height.

Yes would love to know exactly what it takes for a trouble-free fit. Lots of documentation please

I decided to play safe and fitted 8.5" Grids (et44).
