your missing a vital bit of info, offset

chances are they will go on regardless of offset, the rest depends on your suspension and ride height

Hi mate, I have a 55plate blobeye wrx and I have just had fitted Rota Force 18 x 9`s ET38. If that helps. :D

Yes assuming correct PCD, you can run up to a 18 x 9 et 35 with a 225 tyre you will however need have camber adjustment to make the most of this, as on standard suspension they will rub, with after market coilovers you can run wider tyres. Going wider will need more camber and arch rolling.

18 x 8.5 with a ET no lower than 38 will see no issues.

5 x 114.3?

Assuming that UK Spec WRXs aren't any different from USDM ones, they will NOT fit since the bolt pattern WRX are 5 x 100.

yes i thought they were 5x100 for a 2003 model as well.

5 X 100 PCD upto 2005 114.3 after 2005, nearly all other Jap performance cars run 114.3 PDC.

MrBos 26 February 2010 05:58 PM

Mine are on standard supension and dont rub.

Hi mate,
this is what I'm trying to buy;18 x 8.5 complete with 245 x 40 x 18 Pirelli Tyres, so I presume I'll be ok?
