2015 STI 9.5 inch offset
 
hi, anyone running 9.5 x 18 wheels on a 2015 on STI? what offset do you have? my car is lowered, but only about 1cm. want to run 265 tyres for trackdays, and need some wheels. any pictures would be good! thanks!

not sure id be going for wider tyres over and above the std 245 - if anything id be on the lookout for a lightweight wheel for track, something like team dynamics pro race 1.3 with a slightly lower offset - likes of et42

Yes, I'm running 9.5" wide 18" wheels on my 2015 STI with ET35 offset but with std 245-40-18 tyres. No scrubbing although it's VERY tight indeed. I would say that 265 tyres would most certainly hit your arches. You will need more camber than normal and arch rolling to get around this.

This is how the car looks now with 20mm spacers, no rubbing anywhere, so I would have thought that with the right et and 35 profile 265 tyres there should be room. Might be wrong though.

-2.5 degrees camber by the way, but need more, probably -3, cos I am wearing the track tyres unevenly.

thanks Gambit - got team dynamics 1.2 at the moment in standard size with kumho v70 tyres. works well, but i guess that wider tyres just give more grip so want to give it a try.
