you could run the gravel 18x8.5 et44 with a 225,40,18 or 235
or run the forces 18x8.5 et48/44 with 225,40,18 tyres
the gra is also a very nice wheel 18x7.5 et48
or go down the 17" route and fit bigger profile tyres if its really bumpy where you live . like below


gravel , not a wagon but similar

let me know what you think

Just the wheels im after do you have 5x114 pdc as I believe this has the wider track (wheels stick out further than 5x100 as standard). With the 9.5 wide rim yours don’t look like they stick out the arches to much.
Thanks Ken.
Thanks Ken.
Hi Mags, cheers for the chat yesterday.
I have narrowed it down to the following :-
ROTA GTR (P-45F)
18 x 8.5 - et35 - 5 x 114.3 stud pattern
245 / 40 / R18 - Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric
However, I can't decide whether to have White or Flat Black :s They will be going on the dark grey coloured sti hatch. Choices choices.... I'll be in touch when I have done some photoshopping (when I say I, I actually mean my bro who knows what he is doing)

I may be after Rota Grids in 9.5x18 ET38, as seen a few on US websites running 235 or 245/40's
Are these available in the UK (I can't seem to find that offset listed on any Rota seller sites).
Will these clear the Brembo's without spacers
I wantto run 245's and don't want the stretched look, and as mentioned they seem to of done this over the pond.
Just skipped through this thread and also like the look of the FORCE alloys. What are the size and offset options to clear Brembo's and 245's (or unstretched look) for an MY06 ??

I am looking for some rota grid drifts for my blob, I did a quick photo manipulation to show what I am after:

I was thinking 18x8.5 for these so they clear the arches on my wrx300.
which tyres would be best suited for this?
