Default Wheel Dilema

Hi, I have a classic '95 subaru Impreza. I am looking into purchasing 18 x 8 alloys with 225/40/18s tyres, I have standard strut but the car is lowered 30mm. The offset is 50. Thanks for your help! Sarah x

I think that they may rub the arches, you may get away with having the rears rolled but an 8" rim on a classic is pushing it. I believe some people have done it though. Also, you may need to go for 215 width tyres too.

ideally you will need the arches rolling and they should be ok , a 215,35,18 tyre is also another option
