Can you run staggered fit on Type R
 

Lookin at putting ABW arches on my Type R and looking for wheels to suit
I've seen some 18" x 8'5" fronts and 9" rears Does any1 know if the Subaru runs ok with staggered fitment

Also any pics of Type R's with arches and 17" rims and 18" rims would help :D

You could do by putting same tyres front and rear ie 235,s slighty more stretched on the rear. Imo i would just get same wheels front and rear. Having wider rear tyres might cause diff problems i,m sure someone will know...

If you can get the rolling radius of the tyres front to rear close there's no reason why not but I'm guessing that won't be easy. Some would say that it's the difference between worn tyres on one and and new on the other.

It'd be interesting to see how much the extra half inch in width affects the diameter.
