18x8.5 ET35
 
Has anyone got wheels with this exact fitment? I've been told that they would fit a blobeye and clear the Brembos. I'm wanting to get some summer alloys and have my stock set for winter. My arches are standard and I have the red prodrive springs (not sure if any lower than standard height? I'm quite new to Impreza).

I don't want to roll the arches or have any rubbing. I was wondering what size tyres you had on the above sized wheels as I usually go for a 40 profile tyre, but would be happy to drop a little and stretch the tyre a little if necessary and it avoids any arch work.

Any piccies or advise much appreciated :-)

All down to the spoke design on the wheel really. My 18x8.75 wheels with 35ET miss brembo callipers, but they are very close indeed.


What wheels are you looking at? You may need to be more specific on wheel type.

I've been through all this recently and your very limited, your looking at bola b1 or xxr 8.75, I bought the xxr and they need the rear arches rolled

You can get Rota wheels to fit but on some you may also need a very small spacer on the fronts to push the wheel past the brembos.
