With arch work yes. Presuming they're the usual et of 38 and you have coilovers and appropriate tyres

You might need a small spacer on the front to clear your calipers if you have Brembos and you will need coilovers and arch work but yes they can fit relatively easily

We run 245/40 ZR18,but we are run too 225/40 ZR18,depends on what you want to run stretched or non stretched look

For 245/40 you will need to have coilovers,arch rolled and rear ride height must be little bit raised,on 225/40 you should be OK with arch rolling and coilovers

Yes Bugeye(01-05 WRX or STi have 5X100) or all WRX have 5X100

225/40 18 should be OK,but I would add too camber bolts

I have 9" rota force drift on mine with say 3mm les off set and they are at a limit on my car with 225 tyres and no mods. I was after a set of drifts on a 9.5" but now realising what that size would be like I seriously think its arch mods or you must drive like an old woman so either way something isn't right
