Default 07 STI Wheel Fitment

I'm only a month into owning my 07 STI, but looking at getting some new wheels.


The car is set up on some KW Variant 3 coilovers from the pervious owner, with rear camber set at -1.5 degrees. I'm looking at getting some of the XXR's in 18"x8.75" ET35 and wrapped in some 225/40/R18 Michelin Pilot PS3's.


My question is, will the XXR's fit OK with no issues?


This is how the car is currently sitting on the standard 17"x8" Enkei's


Rear:





Front:







Any help would be great


Thanks

Ade

Your car looks great as is. I'd save my money and spend it on some other mod. Black wheels do look good on a WR blue car.

XXR wheels will make it chav IMHO.

Thanks for the replies, but I suppose its down to personal opinions/choice. Will either be keeping the 17's for winter or sell them.

Just wondered if the fitment of the XXR's was going to be a problem

Thanks

I imagine they will be too wide with too low an offset and if you corner hard they will rub.

Your car will also tramline badly.
