As long as you stick as close as possible to the factory offset you'll be fine. I have 8x18s with 235/40 tyres on Rotas with et48. No problems even with a 50mm drop

Make sure you get the right wheel PDC, 235/40/18 is what I run on my MY06 STi SpecD.

Yes but if you want to run an 8" rim and afford a bit more rim protection 235 is fine.

Yes, but the 235s fill the arches better

What offset are they?
my wheels are 18'' x 7.5 offset is 45
tyre is 225/40
there is only 2mm between tyre and arch
car is a 06 WRX
i would like to run 18'' x 7.5 but can't see them fitting
